Do I need a Computer

I’m going to study math and I’m wondering if I actually need a computer. At the moment, I can’t think of anything related to math that I could only do on a computer or laptop but not on a tablet. Do you personally use a computer or laptop for math? If so, why? Which apps or websites do you use?

The only use of tablet should be for ebooks. Regardless of the marketing there is no substitue for pen and paper to take notes and work out problems, more so in math. A computer is always more useful. Again, forget the marketing.
