Yay, another math student. :)

It's a misunderstanding that math is about numbers.
In the lectures that I attend, any numbers other than 0,1,2,3 are uncommon.
My impression is that the more abstract stuff I learn, the worse I get at simple calculations.

I think 2^{-1} is common at least from all the math lectures I attended. Although you could just consider that a 2 in the denominator. I do think I see more square root signs, subscript n and i then 7s. Depending on the subject e and pi can be important as well.
