The thing is that we are used to having non calculator sums (always having the angle as 0, 30, 45 or 90 .... or well .... continue that series in every quadrant) so
when if we goto engineering (like i did) we have a calculator in our hands then we work faster cause we use our brains as well for the simple calculations in that series ..... but people say not to get too dependent on it .... cause then you become slower at mental mathematics cause by the end of 12th grade the best students are so good that they can tell you the answers to integration which will take 2 pages without writing a word (mental calculus) ..... pfft ..... now im lazy i do my integration on my calculator so i aint as good at mental calculus as i was then

Which calculator are you on Shervin ??? Higher scientific calculators can directly solve 1 variable equations. For 2 and 3 variable equations there are modes .... my calculator doesnt go higher than that.
Im using a Casio fx-991MS
