For people who still don't know what they are getting into, here's an excerpt from the novel's FIRST chapter that the manga wisely did not add to itself:
“Boss, the novels have actually caused you to go mad. We are in the magic world alright, how could we possibly have something as incredible and mysterious as Math. If there really was, then I wouldn’t be spending everyday studying something as boring as Magic Theory, Elemental Systems, or Magical Beasts. I would have studied Mathematics, Literature, and all these interesting things a long time ago.” Guan Gu said—with a sincere expression and a heartfelt tone—to Mo Fan.

Yes. The author of this series is so pants on head retarded that he thinks an advanced society, or any kind of society really, can exist without BASIC math. Technology and science sure, but basic math? This is the kind of intelligence and common sense you can expect from this series, basically, the premise is fucked up from the very first chapter.
