Welcome to the world of the mathematically impaired! I myself cannot count to twenty-one without taking off my socks and dropping my pants.

Let's face it, programming calculators are mostly good for playing games on. The downside to them is that, unlike with the regular cheap Taiwanese calculators, you can't spell "boobs" readily. This is about all I remember from high school math.

Breathe deep, drink plenty of coffee, and if necessary write pi to 100 places on your arm. (My advanced calc teacher at Lathrup was one odd fellow; he got drafted for Vietnam because the lottery that particular year got screwed up and was weighted like 1000% toward people who happened to be born the week he was -- he could, and would, recite pi to 100 places. Whether he gained this ability in 'Nam I do not know, and was afraid to ask.)
