Hardly Anyone Remembers How to do Fractions

[Whateverist]

Note:  Math is definitely something you either use or lose, much to my chagrin.  I studied mathematics in college, and was pretty darn good at math competitions and the like.  I still try to do the Putnam Exam when it comes out, and I occasionally leaf through my college textbooks, but... it gets a little harder every year.  I pulled out my Elliptic Curves textbook this week, and my experience was a lot like the experience many people who last studied math in high school have with fractions - I looked at it, I understood what it was talking about, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do it.

Still not a ratio of integers but nice rebuke of a sloppy assertion.
