Lots of people think that because I have a math degree I should be
outstanding at longhand arithmetic, but I thought that being forced to
do longhand arithmetic only interferred with doing the more important
math, such as algebra and calculus. So I'm not that fast or quick
with longhand arithmetic. Where do the other mathematicians stand?
Does being poor at arithmetic make a person any less of a
mathematician?
