What tools to to replace math work besides calculator?

Mathematica is one example that solves integrals and do some elementary proof run-down for you.

Granted that it is used mostly by STEM students. But I rarelly see someone totally forbiding the use of Mathematica as learning tool.

If you want a more High-school tool, then geogebra is another great example (and also opensource.

Pretty useful to plot the graphs and help you see what you’re getting wrong.

I’m answering just to show that there are indeed mathematical tools used for the inbetween of a full math major and a “paltry peasant” that only needs to compute a good enough function for his problem be it an engineer working beams load, a chemist working enthalpy reactions or an biologist trying to find an EDO that best fits the data of prey/predator in a given ecosystem.

Btw, I’d suggest to install deepseek (or any other model) locally so that you don’t give your data for free to others (also for security reasons).

Take advantage that it is a free/open software and somewhat easy to install.

An important addition is that saying “we are animals” isn’t supposed to cut what we judge to be morally right or wrong.

If anything, “We are animals” must be used to know that other animals may probably have similar introspection as us and we are unaware, thinking o ourselves as special kind of creature when it is far from being true.

If, let’s say hypothetically, a cow do have not only feelings but also moral thought, thinking of a sacred "cow god/goddess) and having moral argument with fellow cows, then it just makes butchering them even more of a “crime” that it is already.

First and foremost: You are correct.

Now allow me to try to be funny: Well… Apartments are just pretty square-ish caves.

(Note that I said “try to be funny”)
