I made some matrix helper functions, and loops through some of the standard stress/strain/failure criteria and so on, with some fully set up problem solvers etc
For tests, I did the hard part, figuring out what matters and what to check, then delegated the math to my calculator. Saved like an hour on a variety of open-textbook tests
If I was better with my calculator in jr high, I could have done a ton with it there too
