My favorite question from the test today

[Hawgdriver]

"Will you use a calculator?"

?????

I want to know who is that quick with the power series approximations for e? Please share your secrets.

I guess some slide-rule wizards still run the fast break.

Amazing that they feel there is a need for the pretext.

Anyway, it made me chuckle as I was anticipating the test.

Well, a guy showed up at my test and didn't have a calculator. Of course that's because he forgot his.

I think those people who don't use the calculators are theory snobs. They argue that actual calculations are beneath them. It's the concepts that matter.
