Acronym needed for D20 Traveller

Add, subtract, multiply, or divide, that's about as complex as T20 gets. The travel and distance formulas are in there if you really need them though.

A calculator will be handy, but not required.

Do you need to know calculus for gurps traveller ?
No, it only seems that way. Beyond GURPS Vehicles (which does requires calculating square and cube roots), GURPS keeps to addition, subtraction, mulipication, division and lookups on tables (the skill table and the Range/Speed table). It does requre a lot more of the math, which may make people think it requires calculus. If your idea of heavy math during a game is adding up 3d8+3 for damage, a GURPS weapon doing 6dx8(10) (6d6 x 8 vs 1/10 armor) is going to seem overly complex.
