In Loving Memory of an Old Friend

Today is a day I will remember for my whole life. A monumentus landmark in my mathematical life that will stay with me forever - I bought a new calculator!!

I've had the same calculator for the last 6 years. It has been my faithful friend through two key stages. Where seating plans and timetable slots have separted me from other friends (especially my biology friend who broke my heart and left me for biology) my calculator was there to comfort me and no one has been able to separate me from my calculator - trust me people have tried!

I don't think it is at all unreasonable to allocate at least some of the success of my GCSE examinations and recent further maths module result to my trusty calculator!

Just when I thought my calculator and I were inseparable, destined to be together till infinity and beyond - BAM!! A level maths!

I resisted for as long as I could, I honestly did! I even resorted to stubbornly multiplying by pi to convert my answer so it could be in terms of pi... And then we got to the log section of the course and the multibase log button was too tempting... Please don't judge me!
