Am I in the wrong for thinking that's a really fucking bad attitude to have when learning maths?
Like, sure, once you know how to do it by hand save time by having the computer do it, but she insists I not do any of it. Just punch in the equation to a computer.
Or is she just a lazy teacher?

No she's one of those doctorates-turned-teachers because getting a real career is too hard after spending so long in academia

I thought I had it bad. The worst thing about the math department at my college is their reliance on Pearson textbooks. It can be a pain in the ass, but it's far from a deal breaker.

We use Stewart at mine. It was good for learning derivatives and integrals but it has been fucking unreadable for multivariable.
I've literally been learning this shit from Yahoo Answers

There's your problem right there
