you need to TRIGGER this somehow, maybe "on closefield"?

on closefield
  doMath
end closefield

Try this, it will work :-)

See below for other EVENTS that may trigger your doMath handler in a field

Correct!

> The fields both had the pass call to send the math to the card handler.

See above, do not PASS, just "EVOKE" the handler when something happens, 
like RETUNRIFIELD, ENTERINFIELD or CLOSEFIELD.

Otherwise nothing will happen, EVER! ;-)
