I am taking an accounting course do I need to be super good at math?

Or will basic skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division suffice? It's a principles of accounting course so nothing major. I'm not that great at math.

1. just adding and subtracting is all you need to know for math.
2. not at all.
3. Accounts has very little to do with complex number crunching. It is more of where to put the numbers. So basic skills of mathematics plus a bit of logical thinking ability would help in the accounting course. Good Luck.
4. It might help, but basically, addition and subtraction are all you need. Accounting can be fun.
5. Accounts is more of logic and less of maths. But you need to be good at basic mathematics, so that you dont waste time calculating.
6. I don't think that you will need to know much more than the basic functions for introductory accounting./
7. You need only basics of maths.
