    Even if you were going to do maths in college, being able to add things quickly in your head is, I am fairly sure, not a particularly celebrated skill...

    I am no Maths guru, but I think the more abstract maths becomes, the less it is about numbers and more about the theories and proofs.

    Indeed although good arithmetic skills do help.

    Well I am very intelligent and can add different combinations of points up in my head.

    Down to the coal mines with the rest of you!

    Well....Obviously:D;)
    What I find weird, is that I know Adults who have amazing arithmetic skills, but couldent understand the most simple algebra problems.
    I would imagine most people use arithmetic and nothing else from school.
