The first 8 levels do not require any math beyond basic arithmetic/algebra.

Level 9 is the application to fe. While it does utilize advanced math, it is structured so that one can successfully complete the exercises without fully understanding the math. This is because the primary focus is on how to implement the formulas vs understanding them.
