I have now. What a refreshing change it would be if calculation wasn't the main event. That is what frustrates everyone. I make light of calculating mistakes. I like to say they must be the same species as me, human all too human. I like the bit about emphasizing being able to program a computer to do the calculation rather than executing it ourselves on paper. That is like figuring out an algorithm rather than executing it. It is a different focus point. I like the idea of talking about the four steps and just de-emphasizing the third one ... not because it doesn't deserve some attention but because we have been consumed by it.
