I don't see why you need to memorise multiplication tables to understand 
mathematics.

Indeed, one of the most important things I learned at college is that 
mathematics is *not* just about memorising multiplication tables. 
There's actually far more to it than that. The fact that my school 
education completely failed to mention this is... rather worrying.
