Twitter: This part of the calculator is very useless right?

if you're an adult then you likely are not using a physical calculator. You got a whole ass smartphone

if you're using a calculator then you're likely in school which means, yeah, it's kind of useful

Useful if you took any math past algebra. But any adult isn't using that shyt 99 percent of the time.

I know sin cos tan is for calculus

but I’ve never used the log buttons

 

[Solomon Lurke]

Haven’t touched any of those buttons since High School

 

[Numpsay]

Got me through my Calculus, Physics, and other advanced math classes.

I still use exponents and trig stuff some of the time. Parentheses too I use a lot. I still have the engineering calculator they made us buy for college, but I can't remember how do any of that stuff like the graphing.

We used logs heavy in calculus too .


You use them with exponents if you wanna work backwards and figure out what to the xth power gave you the equation you currently have in front of you .


As an adult I've used logs once or twice when calculating compound interest for my brokerage account, or when trying to calculate the ammoritization of a potential loan.

The one thing I've never used is the absolute value button. There is no practical use for it in real life, but I had a statistic prof in college that was convinced you needed it to get the odds of a bet .

In college I had to take up to calc 3, differential equations, statistics, controls systems, physics to name a few where the top part of that calculator was very necessary.

I guess it’s based on most people’s job, but I use power of (x*, x2) almost daily.

Just fukking with you breh

Useful for trigonometry and calculus

 

[King_Kamala61]

I guess they meant outside of college courses....

Imma artist and I used rulers and protractors more tho

 

[Savvir]

Those buttons are only used by 6 certs 6 figures....
