| - if you stop using a calculator, you ll become good at math - just like how you ll become good at coding if you stopped using an llm (for most of it atleast) - i am not saying this to trigger anyone. i am speaking from personal experience - 6 months ago i stopped using calculators to add, subtract, multiply and my abilities have sharpened slowly and steadily - initially i had trouble adding / subtracting 3 digit numbers - i have slowly come to the point where i can do 6 digit numbers now without a calculator and pretty fast - obviously i wont be able to prove that here because people ll think i am using tools to paste the answer but if were to meet in real life like ever, you would be absolutely blown away by how fast i can math - was at the bank the other day, the bank manager had a mini heart attack when i calculated the 8.5% interest rate on the 1st year precisely before he could use his calculator - seriously give it a try. start with 2 digit numbers addition / subtraction for the next entire week and slowly up your game. it ll help you immensely |
