What I use depends on the situation.
If I can do it in Gray Matter, I will. Otherwise there are situations where I have either a simple or a scientific calculator available, in which case I may use that. I don't have a programmable calculator (unless you count Python running on a laptop as such). And I'll also use a CAS when available.
Therefore I simply cannot choose a single one of the options.
Well, I guess I could choose “Gray Matter ” because in the end, even when I use one of the other options, I need to also use my grey matter to operate those and interpret the results.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
