Group,

I hate to admit it but I was a poor math student back in my school days. It
wasn't until I got a chance to apply it to something real that I got
interested. I finally looked up the mean and it is simply another word for a
simple moving average. Also Standard Deviation is a measurement of the
departure from that simple moving average. I think that it must hurt a
mathematician to put something simply.

I have a question to ask about math.

Question: Is it true that all math is an extension of addition and
subtraction. In other words multiplication is just another form of addition
and division another form of subtraction etc.
