Interestingly the above gives a link to

I suppose the fact is that being good at English is not a prerequisite for
being good at maths.

Indeed I knew a fellow who went to Cambridge to study Maths who had the
utmost difficulty in obtaining the necessary English Language pass at high
school which is (certainly was) the prerequisite to being admitted to any
English university.
