I ask because as much as I love calculators, all the discussion about extreme precision (even at a 32 digit minimum), it seems and sounds like a calculator is useless and is better relegated to paperweight status.

Please enlighten me about the usefulness of calculators in the sciences.

a slight reinterpretation from a well known play; “O, thou hast damnable iteration, and art indeed able to corrupt a saint". most handy for recursive, iterative, etc. calculations with initial estimations, approximations, etc. NAY?

BEST!
