In fact, the term draws images of a math nerd scribbling foreign symbols on a blackboard, but in reality it isnt that difficult. In other words, modular arithmetic is a method for doing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with integers where the numbers curve around the number line cyclically instead of continuing on forever.
