You people sure are judgemental.
If you've been out of school for more than 3-4 years, you
might be surprised at how things change. It is not unusual
for courses to require that work be done with a calculator
(and tests may be based on the premise that every single
student has one with the necessary capabilities). That
doesn't obviate learning the theory behind the math. I have
no doubt that some of you dinosaurs used charcoal to derive
all advanced formulas from basic premises on the back of your
shovel, but classes are not taught that way anymore.
