Is Sunset Shimmer supposed to be really smart?

Yes. The unofficial explanation is that the same kind of mind that can memorize spells and use magic lends itself naturally to maths. We all know Twilight is very smart, and Sunset Shimmer showed almost as much magical ability, and was also a personal protege of Celestia, so it makes sense for her to be able to suss out maths.

In Sunset Shimmer's Time to Shine, we learn that she is actually very academic, and could very well be the smartest student at Canterlot High though she doesn't like admitting that. She also became a math tutor as a side thing in order to give herself some extra credit activity after school. Her going up against Sci-Twi during the Academic Decathlon event of the Friendship Games is additional proof that she is very gifted with intelligence.

It also serves as a bridge between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games although I see the book connecting between the former and the Holiday 2014 comic special. In a similar fashion, "Twilight's Sparkly Sleepover Surprise" is a bridge between Friendship Games and Legend of Everfree.

The fact that she was worthy to use the crown of magic could also imply she has a great wealth of knowledge in magic which was acquired by great intelligence.
