They never worked for me in math...

A^4(56*5)^7 = 5603   in that, A Supposedly isn't ~ a buhjillion.


Yeah, I failed math in school because I didn't really want to take the time to do it.

math teacher told us when we got to this upper school

"don't ever use ~, always use =

approximately couldn't be used  cuz if we did then we HAD to store the real number in calculator and not use the approximate number. = meant this is the number we use, so I only use = :D
