Talk:The 2008 International Conference of Applied and Engineering

Good points. When I was in soohcl we were forced to do math by hand. I was helping my nephew with his math the other day and he only had 2 steps written down. I noticed the answer was wrong so I asked him to walk through the steps and show me what he did. He paused and told me he put the equation in the calculator. I knew the problem immediately was an issue with order of operation, but I explained to him you cant just blindly plug it in the calculator and expect it to be right. I still have him walk through it and show me he knew how to do it.
