That reminds me of our learning Pythagoras theorem:
We proved it in Mathmatics first
Then we proved it "practically" in science by constructing a rt angle triangle on graph paper and counting squares.
The only "calculators" we had in those days were the standard issued maths tables sine,cos,tan and log, fingers or a sliderule.
