Not when you need to reduce roots.  Calculators can't do that.

Calculators will tell you that the square root of 8 is 2.8284271247461900976033774484194
which is pretty useless for Algebra.

My project will tell you that sqrt(8) =  2 * sqrt(2)

Re: More Homework Help: Root Reductions

Also, a calculator won't "show your work" which most teachers require.  My project does.  tongue
