[nabs-l] calculators

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Annemarie,

         I am taking simple algebra next semester, after completing 
pre-algebra last Fall and  have taken arithmetic last semester.

Because the instructors of those courses didn't allow calculators on 
tests I do not use braille, so I have been pursuing knowledge of the 
abacus. I hope one day to get so familiar with the abacus that, 
calculators are not necessary for the execution of complicated math.

Personally, I'd rather have a hand in figuring out complicated math 
language and not entrusting a calculator as someone might trust a 
sighted guide.
Good luck!
for today,
Car
