A *teacher* could give you correct software to study. Instead of reading a lot of verbage in your calculus class perhaps you could read 50% text and 50% high level code that does derivatives and integrals symbolically. > I think he's implying that writing > it in software means you understand. Yes. That's right. It is possible you understand something without writing software. However, *if* you can write software there is *no doubt* you understand something. I'm currently writing a Scheme interpreter while I learn Scheme. At some future date, if and when I finish it, there will be no doubt I know EVERYTHING about the behavior of Scheme right?
