| Apr 13, 2018 at 2:39 | comment | added | Carl Younger | The idea of focussing on applications is interesting, and I especially like the idea of integrating the stuff students are studying in other subjects. I'm not sure this answers the exact question asked, but I understand it's not a simple question, and that it's difficult to even know where to begin. Other answers wonder quite far from the specific issue, so I'll mark this as correct. | |
