bugat Li (ID: 0000007a40614d1d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/24/2020 It really helps when your expressions get too long, and you need something to lay out all the components of your function so you don't make a stupid error.

Martin (ID: 000000e32eb445bf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/22/2020 A true lifesaver! I used to wake up every day, dreading webwork. Dreading the tedious nuisance of matching my brackets correcting and checking that the format is correct in the tiny tiny tinyyyyyy text book they give you. Really, a lifesaver!
