NEW MATH=BLAH MATH

I can do a lot of this the old way but the instructor always wants us to show work. grrrrr.  Actually, I find the new math easy once you start to understand it.   It makes you think.  Back in the 80's and 90's we did have calculators to help but they were frowned upon in class.  No computers so no online math lab (which has been a big help to me by the way).  We had to have books, paper and pencil and actually had to listen to the professor.  Can you image that, having to listen to the professor to learn?  hehe.  The professors had to work one on one with a lot of students.  We did have a math lab though for those that needed extra help.  Today with the online learning tools it is soo much easier.  I can spend as much time without feeling like I am taking up someone else s time and also not feel stupid.  I feel stupid enough without adding to it.  So now I can figure out when your driving a  bus traveling at 70 miles an hour between la and nashville with a wind of 20 mph and you have to make three stops, one overnight for 6 hours and you use 125 gallons of gas, what is the drivers name?  easy math :)
