It is only surprising if you think mathematics is more or less equivalent to arithmetic.

I was “bad at math” all the way through school and it wasn’t until I realised how wrong this is that it finally clicked. I still cannot calculate shit unless I have pen and paper but I usually have access to this when solving integrals. I went into a math heavy program at uni without any issue.
