I'm not talking about using a calculator as a tool to solve engineering
problems.


I AM talking about learning an abstract language people call Calculus.
Engineering is not Math, please do not confuse the two.  My point is,
schools rely too much on using a calculator to teach their students.
Memorizing a method for solving problems is not teaching you math.


Students need to learn Calculus, not how to take derivatives and integrals.
