But you have to understand the concepts to put it in your calculator (or excel sheet) correctly.
Right, which is why I think it's helpful to "show your work" in MS/HS.

If I told my boss to hold on while I showed my work to figure out the future valaue of an investment, he's spit on me and then fire me. The "scare tactics" that professors tried to give us (since many of the students were full-time students with no jobs) were BS and that turned me off to many of the assignments.
