I want to complain about this content:

On a more serious note, the ability to do mental arithmetic and have a rough Idea what the answer should be before using a calculator can save a lot of embarrassment when performing scientific calculations. I've seen 8 'A' level physics students give 8 different answers to the same question using calculators without understanding the basic rules of mathematics. Good move Ms. Truss.
