My father is one of the smartest people I know. In junior high, he qualified for a full academic scholarship to Boston College High School. After graduation he went to college for two years then joined the Army Air Corps in 1950. His entrance exam was the highest score recorded that year, so they assigned him to teaching math, physics and ballistics.
During his service, my dad was "volunteered" to witness the first and only firing of the M65 atomic cannon in 1953. "Atomic Annie."

That’s wonderful.
Too bad he failed you in your math education while he was educating others.
