   Calculators?   
      
   I bet they would have cost thousands of dollars in my day. :)   
   And taken up the entire classroom and electrical supply too.   
      
   Eventually by the end of my trig semester we knew every value by heart.   
   Just as we did with hex when we learned to program in assembly language.   
      
   I forgot it all though.   
   Long ago.   
      
   I wonder if it ever comes back?
