What harm is being done? It is true that some adjustments are needed
or are at least appropriate to overcome difficulties with traditional
high school formulations of algorithms when ported to tricky inorganic
computers, but I do not agree that using a limited base of high school
mathematics for programming examples is harmful.
Yours sincerely,
