/* CSCI 200: Lab 1A (Math Equation Solver): Tyler Beckman
 *
 * Author: Tyler Beckman
 *
 * A C++ program to interactively solve 10 different mathmatical equations,
 * using the appropriate constants where relevant. I decided to implement all 10
 * rather than just 2 because it sounded interesting and I wanted to challenge
 * myself. It also will keep prompting for the equation to solve until you
 * explicitly respond with a 0 or CTRL+C it, rather than just exit once the
 * equation is calculated.
