[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]], more or less. It could be a [[Mook]], The [[Tagalong Kid]], [[Sixth Ranger|The New Guy]], or [[Book Dumb|The Idiot of the Group]], but on a [[Million
Definitely [[Truth in Television]], as quite a few people in [[Real Life]] have this ability. Most of them are mathematicians, but not all of them. In fact, there are even competitions for mental math.
May sometimes speak with a [[Mouthful of Pi]]. See also [[Mad Mathematician]]. May result from [[Super Intelligence]].

Line 15:
* It's not made a big deal of or even really mentioned outright (in the anime, anyway), but Accelerator in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' is [[Good With Numbers]] as one of the [[Required Secondary Powers|necessary abilities]] to actually use his esper ability properly. The [[Good Is Dumb|nerf]] he gets is actually based on brain damage that affects his mathematics ability and requires a ''ten thousand person'' ''[[Hive Mind]]'' to correct for a mere 15 minutes at a time.
** [[It Gets Better]], as GROUP's enhancements were able to extend his Esper Mode to 30 minutes, then ''he himself'' managed to reduce his battery consumption by ''90 percent'' so he could use it for undertaking longer missions.
** It's been implied that the more powerful an Esper is, the more likely that he is [[Good With Numbers]]. [[Green Lantern Ring|Dark Matter]], [[Wave Motion Gun|Rail]][[Shock and Awe|gun]], and [[Energy Weapon|Melt]][[Frickin' Laser Beams|down]] are all very powerful espers with immense Physics (and, you guessed it, Math) knowledge. [[Teleporters and Transporters|Teleporters]] (except [[Back Stab|Kill Point]]) can calculate ''[[Up to Eleven|up to the eleventh dimension]]''.
* This is Kenji's defining ability in ''[[Summer Wars]]''. He's so damn good he solves 2056-bit encryption in his head.
* [[Comic Book Adaptation|The supplementary manga]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] A's'' revealed that, [[Always Someone Better|much to the competitive Alisa's chagrin]], both Nanoha and Fate are like this. Fate especially, to the point where Nanoha's sister goes to her for help on her high school math homework even though Fate's in elementary school. The same chapter also mentioned that the magic in the series requires a good bit of math, so being good with numbers is one of the reasons why they're both top mages.
Line 34:
* Ben Campbell from the movie ''[[Twenty One (Film)|21]]'', but that's to be expected when he counts cards as a part time job.
** His [[Establishing Character Moment]] is him verbally tallying up a complicated order for a customer at a clothing store, including knocking off part of the price by applying his own employee discount towards the order, all without aid of a pen and paper or calculator. In the trailer, [[Fun With Subtitles|the math is written out on screen for the benefit of the audience]], though that bit was left out in the movie itself.
* [[Nash Equilibrium|John Nash]] [[Truth in Television|of both]] [[Real Life]] [[Based
* At the end of the third [[Alternate Universe]] live-action ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' movie, {{spoiler|L adopts a Thai kid who's good with math. It's heavily suggested the kid grows up to be Near.}}
* Harold Crick in ''[[Stranger Than Fiction]]''. A routine occurrence in his life is being given math equations by his coworkers, which he solves in his head instantly.
