I know that back then, fast and accurate calculation must be done to win an artillery duel.
But anyone knows more precisely about the maths education an officer must undergo before he could competently lead a gun crew? What are the fields he must master? And how good (how fast and accurate) must he be in those fields?
Another way of asking this question would be: if I have an ISOT machine on my hand and I want to be a Napoleonic artillery officers, I much maths must I study before I press the button?
