A calc. can be used or abused. I don't think it's a good idea to solely
rely on a calculator to get you through your calculus class, but I think
it makes sense to use it to do menial problems that require more algebra
than complex thought.  If you understand the process of how the calc is
getting it's answer, i don't see anything wrong with using it.
