V-Speeds in Aviation

Pilots regularly make use of the expression "fly by the numbers", and trust me, in flying there can be a ton of numbers. One group of fundamental numbers are the V-speeds. V-speeds are standard speeds that are important to get precision flight, and by precise flight I do not indicate some form of formation flying - I am talking about the sort of basic flying you actually undertake when you fly. They are rates of speed you should know, and in reality, my teacher requested that I know them before he'd let me solo.
