Re: How times have changed

Looks like your mathematical ability is now judged on your ability to punch numbers into a gadget. You used to have to show how you came to your solution, how you worked out the problem. Hitting a few buttons on a calculator hardly demonstrates a grasp of the subject.

Seems to make a bit of a mockery of the exam to me.
