No, i most definately learned them in elementary school (7th and 8th grade to be exact) I wasn't advanced (ok so maybe i was) but the school most definately was. my elementary school 'tested' the curriculum of 'new math' about 5 years before it got rolled out on the rest of the world. our 'text books' were all paperbacks, and the stuff we learned was different than anyone else.
i also learned binary and octal before JFK became president-as part of the same new math curriculum (mind you, though, i am 47--you can check my profile in AWAD)--maybe or maybe not advanced, but certainly precocious!

It drove my parents crazy--a few years later (early/mid '60's) when new math became part of the national conscious, my mother was a pro at the techniques and subject matter--by then, she had 3 kids who had been doing 'new math' for years!.

my other obsession
