Hardly Anyone Remembers How to do Fractions

RE: Hardly Anyone Remembers How to do Fractions

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.
How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
