I'm just happy there are people in general that are good at math, even when I've forgotten most of it from high school.

Here's a fun thought experiment. Name the greatest scientists, the greatest mathemeticians of all time. Marie Curie will probably be on your list; if she's not, shame on you. But other than Rosalind Franklin, Barbara McClintock, and Grace Hopper, who do you have?
I've got a couple;

Leona Woods and, best of all, Margaret Burbidge.
