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. | Good [[fucking]] question.

Fuck Mathematica.
What the hell is Mathematica?
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.
The math professors wanted me to "get the feel" of motherfucking Mathematica. Guess what? Mathematica is a program that can only be accessed on school computers. That is just the cherry on top of the pile of disincentives I have against doing my math homework. Leibniz did not use Mathematica, and that dude invented calculus. On the other hand, Newton, that sheisty prick, probably would have used Mathematica a shit-ton to feign an understanding of Maclurian polynomials and integrated integrals, when he actually couldn't be bothered learning the theories behind it all because he was too busy humping an apple tree.
