Producer of calculators says kids don't need to learn maths, they just need a calculator

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Well, a lot of maths can be done with a calculator. They don't need to learn to actually understand the maths unless either they actually want to, or they're going into something like engineering.

In many engineering professions you really need to understand the underlying math to have a chance in hell to interpret the results correctly. Just because you get a result doesn't mean you get an answer.
