Has math education actually improved with the introduction of calculators? Easy and equitable solution would be to remove them from classes and tests.

Has introducing students to a programmable computer dedicated to math improved math education? Yes, yes it has. Writing a program to automate certain computations certainly helps your understanding better than performing said computations by rote multiple times.

How does it do that? It seems like graphing equations by hand on graph paper would help understanding better. And my personal experience tells me that rote practice increases task fluency. Do you have any citations to back up your claim?

Do you have any to back up your claims? Everyone here (myself included) is just arguing by anecdote.
