This is better than the top voted answer, which implies "memorizing integrals" or "miswriting numbers" is some how something that is both important and a prerequisite at being good at math. School makes you memorize those things and take off points for silly mistakes for practical reasons, not because it's actually required to do math. Don't expect yourself to remember those things or be perfect at copying values, humans are not robots, we are not meant to memorize every thing and its impossible for us to avoid mistakes. We don't even treat quantities linearly by default.
