i've always wonderd, why do they keep teaching math by hand(as in you have to show all your work), i hate it when you can do a problem on a calculator in 3 second and the teacher looks at you and says no no no you have to show all your work....and there you go to spend the next 10 minutes doing it on paper its useless, stupid, and infuriating......
Ok...so arugements are:
if you dont learn how to do all that work you wont know how the calcuator came up with the answer
>who cares, you need to know the answer not how you got it
what if somwhere along the calculation there was an error?
>the calculator usually tells you where the error was made...
what if you dont have a calculator?
>Go buy one
what if your calcuator runs out of batteries your stranded in the middle of the desert and you have to do a complex calculation?
> LOL
What if there is a problem that the calculator cant solve and you have do to by hand?
> well its ok if they teach you that by hand
