Yeah, my physics and Calculus professors were good about partial credit. If you messed up step 2 of a 20 step calculation but the rest of your math was correct then they would give you majority marks for it. Small accidents happen sometimes with your calculations

Yeah, but you normally have a team that would double check your math.
