I worked for a company where some people had done some computations (for plants and lines) in their heads or with notebooks or whatever for decades. Noone else knew how to do what they did, so the company decided to write a program to do it to ensure the future.
These guys told the programmers what they did, and then did not like the program. Indeed, they often decided what they wanted to see, and then put the numbers into the program to get the result they wanted, even though the numbers they put in were bogus and were only there to contrive the results they wanted to see.
So, the answer to favorite method of computation is simply, what i'm used to.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
