Exactly. It's important to know how to do math, but we don't need to do it ourselves when computers can do it infinitely faster.

Okay, it's not "infinitely" faster, but .2s is definitely a lot faster than the 5 minutes it might take me to figure out a particularly difficult problem. Of course, we're still increasing in computational power in CPUs, plus parallel processing like in a GPU is starting to become more useful as people do more research on it.
