 Good [[fucking]] question.  Mathematica is this gigantic calculator program that can do every mathematical task you give it, which I'm sure is nice for the one kid at this fucking school taking Linear Topography 387, but for all of the other people who have to take calculus if they want to be an Econ major, it is the scourge of [[SMC]].  It causes ulcers and migraines, and no one ever tells you about it before you get here.  I mean, a little forewarning would have been nice.  All throughout high school my teachers kept telling me that I needed to get a graphing calculator.  When [[college]] rolled around, I figured I'd put down the cash and invest in a TI-83, only to be told once I got here that I had wasted a million dollars on something that I would only use to calculate my test scores.
