[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1192195, member: 1682"] I can do simple math in my head and use a calculator for everything else. But I wouldn't be fast enough at a till without calculation function. I could do it, but the line-up would be long and tempers would inevitably flare. I blame the school system which teaches garbage like algebra, calculus and the such. I predicted it at that time to be absolutely useless, and I was right. If I had my way, I wouldn't teach math beyond grade 8 level, although trig - taught in grade 10, would be of some use to the working man. I have always hated math since the early years when the teachers tried to teach both fractions and decimals at the same time and I asked why we are doing both when this country is supposed to be metric. I remember that ticked Dad off too, when I told him. All BS. [/QUOTE]
