It's Friday!

Well today is Friday! Finally the week is coming to a much-needed end, and I can finally catch up on some much-needed ZZzz's. When that's done, I can catch up on the LOADS of homework I have from being sick this week. Sadly, the destruction doesn't end there either. I have finished most of the homework, and caught up on tests/quizzes. Now comes the math homework. Don't get me wrong, I love math, but there comes a point when even I don't want to do it.

Let me give you the situation. I have to solve a sequence. I have a non-ans repeating calculator, and I have to find the 300th number. This means hand entering the equation 300 times. OW. It took me over 20 minutes in class to solve a problem, actually better yet, part "A" of one problem.

Here is an example of an equation (part "A" mind you) that is requiring me to use my brother's calculator.

U0=1500
Un=Un-1 (1 + .05/4) + 100
U3060=X

anyone got an answer? Me neither. In fact, this equation has so many parts and changes, that it literally took a TI-82 almost 15 seconds to solve it. A CALCULATOR! Those things are supposed to be instant I thought. Oh well, I guess my faith in calculators has been lost.

On a side note, if anyone knows of a function/sequencing program that's free for PCs, please give me a link.

Good night!
