@thomasfuchs the biggest issue I can think of the difference in process between handwritten and digital math. When doing math on paper, I don’t think in terms of one elaborate equation, but rather a sequence of steps. Instead of “POW(AVG(x1…xn),2)”, I think “sum these elements, then divide by the number of elements, then square the result”. I can obviously construct an equation when making spreadsheets or writing code, but I need to decompose it into its steps when doing the mental math.

For this to work the way I think, it needs to (1) spit out the answer immediately (2) allow me to use its generated answer in a subsequent equation. And when I say “immediately” I mean <0.5 sec. If I need to wait on my iPad to do the math, I’ll just use the calculator instead
