The mathematics of handbags (and chess books)

Yesterday, it was Jane's birthday, and, what did she want?- yes, another handbag. And when Jane thinks handbag, I can expect a painful dent on my credit card.

This, and the newspaper article which caused my next post, started me thinking ’how many handbags does a woman need'? I am delighted to have solved this, and below is the mathematical equation.

Jane is a high coefficient of extravagance girl. Believe me.

Now, this formula might have other uses. It could be applied, mutatis mutandis, to the number of chess books a chessplayer needs. But there is a fundamental difference: chess books are useful.
