On Why Mathematica is Awesome...

Or how I finished my quantum pset in under six hours.

So there was this one problem with this really annoying 3-part integral... and it had lots of constants to keep track of and positive and negative signs (and we all know how awesome I am at keeping track of those). After ten minutes of scribbling work of decreasing legibility I decided I was fighting a losing battle. Rather than staying the course I plugged the whole thing into Mathematica and got the answer out in less than a second. With all the constants in the right places. And the negative signs all right. Woohoo! Then I spent two and a half hours getting coffee with friends and don't feel even slightly guilty about it.
