Hello friends when you do some mathematical work or some counting work did you use calculator always...or sometimes u evaluate the answers in your mind only..i notice many of persons didn't require calculator for difficult sum or subtraction they do it in their mind only...What about u friend?

Well as far as I am concerned, I make very less use of calculators unless and unless the calculation is too lengthy. Doing calculations in mind makes your mind sharper, it is a good mental exercise.

I use the calculator when I need a precision answer, for example, when I am calculating the reject percentage of the production line in my company. Normally, I will just estimate the answer in my mind, like calculating the discounted price of an item. Anyway, if need to, I can always use the calculator function included in my mobile phone.

All the time i use calculator everyday that to expedite my work because i have a bulk of works everyday & that requires me to use it. Then i try to review my work manually to ensure the validity & correctness of my data being done.

I seldom use calculator since calculate from my mind is much easier and fast. I use mind calculation when the sum is simple. Only when i am facing with a lot of calculation,then i prefer to use calculator to calculate them. I tried not to make many calculation mistake. I think when we are able to use our mind to calculate is always the most easiest way, since we don't need to bring the calculator with us whenever we go.

Hi, I try my best not to use calculator. I've last used it 10-13months back. I only use calculator to find the trigonometric ratios of some odd angle, or to quickly calculate binary equivalent, and to find complicated results of exponential and logarithms. I don't use calculators for simple addition, multiplication or division. I even try not to use calculators while interpreting statistical tables. Using calculators too often takes away all the fun in mathematics. Take care
