You might want to take a peek at this thread:
http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums/showthread.php?&threadid=14650

You should also check out this page of the Lexicon:
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/classes.html#Arithmancy

In other words, it's not known from canon exactly what
they do in arithmancy class. However, a google on the
subject shows that there's a number of other sites,
like this one http://www.paralumun.com/arithmancy.htm,
which offer various definitions. But you can be
creative, as you can see from the Lexicon that we
don't have an enormous amount of canon to draw on.
