That is really poor code, more than anything else. NULL is not the same thing as 0, even in a [math] context, so it is not surprising that it doesn't work that way. I'll bet your original code looked more like this: [text]something=[math]35.5-[somefield][/math][/text] and [somefield] wasn't initialized properly.
