Solving it by hand gives an exact answer, which in some contexts, might be preferable. Forman Acton, in his classic book, Numerical Methods That Work, uses the quadratic formula as an example to illustrate how a computer can give a wildly

"Dash" comes to mind. In cars, people in the U.S. would say, "Throw it on the dash," or "Put it on the dash," meaning "Put it on top of the dashboard." The "it" might be a a map or some ki

You have to remember that the specs of the two trains are quite different, with the elevation above the track being much greater in the case of Japan (as a buffer against earthquakes).

DoorDash should team up with Uber, Lyft et al. Or the other way around, Uber or Lyft could do what DoorDash does. On another note, home delivery has been in Japan for many years, but there, the density of population makes it feasible - some
