I have a BS in Computer Science and I can't do basic math reliably... 3+4? About 10. Is that something they teach in grad school?

10 is within the right amount of time complexity - someone else can correct me on the phrasing, I'm only an electrical engineer.
To a plasma physicist, 10 is within an order of magnitude, so as good as one could hope for.
Of course that’s correct, assuming you are working in base 7.
As for your second question, yes.
I trust more the BS here than the Phd from above
We're already way past the point bots can answer questions like that better than humans can.
The more maths you know the less you can do calculations...

You don't have a BS in addition, that's the problem.
