    No, that's only the first level. As one descends further into Dante's mathematical inferno, one finds Differential Geometry, Group Theory, Algebraic Topology, etc. When sinful mathophobes get there, they are in for an eternity of unrelenting math.
    They are going to be made to rationalize denominators and simplify radical expressions FOREVER. ***gives maniacal laugh and twirls moustache*** :D
