minus-squareaaaantoine@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoI’ve heard the “won’t always have a calculator” line, but more impressive was the one time our math teacher demonstrated the ability to solve the problem on the blackboard faster than we could whip out our calculators and punch in the numbers.
