But... but... how will they know that $20.57 minus $7.57 is $13, Hil?
To cite a random example.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

What she actually wants to use is a graphing calculator. We're doing polar coordinates, which are a bit tricky to graph, but I've done some examples in class and gone over the general method several times.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You should e-mail back and tell her that it sucks to be her.

Every once in a while I will throw what appears to the clerk to be random amounts of change, to get it to 25, 50 or 75 cents on the dollar.
You'd think I invented fire from some of their responses.

Oy. An ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel published a photo of the new Cabinet, but photoshopped it to remove the women. (From what I know, standard practice in those papers is putting a black box over any women that can't be cropped out, because they think that it's a violation of women's modesty to print pictures of them. But photoshopping to make it look like they weren't there in the first place is new.) [link]

I once totally astonished a clerk by giving him a twenty and two singles when the total was $17.

Exactly, Hil. It's like seeing a jet of little cartoon steam come out of their heads.

Wow, that link to the Israeli cabinet photo doctoring. Wow.
They even had to change heads on bodies to do it.

I think that graphing calculators can be great teaching tools. If I had the time to prepare a lot of my own material, I would be teaching this class with graphing calculators. However, I'm going by the curriculum set by the department, which means no calculators. I would love to put together a calculus course that did use calculators, but that would require teaching it entirely differently, and I don't have the time or the authority to make that many changes in the curriculum.
