I actually have a beef with pretending that such topics are representative of, or perhaps even the definition of, mathematics. Perhaps the teaching of "mathematics" should be split into those two separate areas then: one for students who are looking for (presumably commercially rewarding) applications, and one for students trying to learn something that goes beyond that...? |
