TI-89 doesn't have infinite precision. Built-in Android calculator does. They are incomparable. TI-89 has tons of features, but can't take a square foot to high accuracy.

"inject" is the wrong word too. They aren't modifying links or linked pages. It's a free service that displays ads before showing free content. Like most other free services. Flagged the misleading title.

Your father is a parent and didnt parent 6 years by your side. Why didn't your mother step up to support that? If a mother can replace a father in this role, why can't a teacher? Why doesn't a child need some freedom and inde

Some people get really hung up on rigid thinking around "correlation is not causation" and throw the baby out with the bathwater, bending over backwards to avoid leaning on correlation at all. They focus on strict causal-logic, t

It's common in European universities to not have "service courses" that the math departments provide to other departments. The other departments teach the math that is part of their field!
