There are two sorts of problems in Math: 

    - the problems where the tutor's help is needed,  and

    - all other problems (that could and should be made by a "student" or "visitor" on his (or her) own).

This problem certainly and definitely does not belong to the first category.


Making calculations for students or instead of students is not the tutors' job. --- In opposite, it is the students' job.


Making calculations is the students' honor duty and a privilege !
