It is much easier to write math tests if you can assume that the students can do arithmetic, matrix inversion and multiplication, trigonometry, logarithms, regressions, variance, etc, nearly instantly.

Why does a math test need to have numeric stuff? Can't they design exams which do not need numerical calculations and only require solving equations?
