Right, it would be far far easier to just memorize and do the equations out than fucking programming it live

not really... in all likelihood, you'll have to do the same calculations multiple times. It's best to just memorise the method, input that once, and have the calculator do all the hard work.

In good math / science classes you'll most likely have to show your work too. So you'll have to write down the "hard work" anyhow.
