I never memorized my multiplication tables, so I am awful at this.
But I can do calculus pretty good if I have a calculator on hand. :3
Ahaha, but that's cheating~ You aren't working your brain, just your fingers if you use the calculator
razz Bullshit.
Calculus requires a s**t ton of brain-work. I'd like to see you get the area under a curved line without the use of a calculator.
Memorizing multiplication tables and regurgitating them isn't using your brain either, if this is your argument. It's just doing something you have memorized.

I WILL FIGHT YOU OVER MEANINGLESS MATH STUFF! I WILL FIGHT YOU SO HARD!
Gawd, you should see me doing the math required for my Mass Spectrometer. It is literally all simple addition and subtraction... occasionally multiplication or division-- and I can't do it with out a calculator. BUT I HAVE THE MASSES OF ALL THE AMINO ACIDS MEMORIZED!
I could not be a scientist if the calculator wasn't a thing. Don't you dare say it doesn't require brainwork if you are using a calculator. It's how you use the numbers to get to your final results that uses the brain. <3
*hops off soap box*
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I FELT THE NEED TO ARGUE THAT SO HARD! Probably lack of sleep. WHEEEEEE!
