> If your boot camp could be done solely using the plus button of a calculator; people would think it's not worth it. What if it's a math boot-camp meant to increase your arithmetic proficiency? When I was in elementary school, I fully believed that calculators made memorizing arithmetic facts obsolete, so I didn't do it and just muddled through. I did the same for algebra (relying on my calculator's solver as soon as I could get away with it). That's hobbled me for the rest of my life, because I'm so calculator dependent that I'm was always too distracted by operating it to fully engage with more advanced math material. I can't think about math in my head because I get stuck on arithmetic problems. > Now if your boot camp can be solved by ChatGPT is it really worth it? Yes, for the reasons I outlined above. It's not about getting the answer, it's about getting the toolbox that will get you that answer and understand it. Do you want to be a Calculator Operator, Second Class or an Engineer?
