Mathematics demands talent; no matter how hard you try, if you don't get it, you just don't get it.

Hamlet doesn't even have ten thousand people, and what's more difficult is that they are generally illiterate. Literacy work is still underway, and even schools are piecemeal, laughable compared to those mature academies, like kindergartens.
But difficulties are not a reason to give up. Talented individuals do not just appear out of nowhere; they are cultivated.
What Lance needs to do is start from scratch in this era where learning costs are high and the populace is generally illiterate, to cultivate his own talents.

And it's clear that Lance's investment is yielding results.
After successfully forging cannons, the resources Lance invested in artillery received feedback at once.
