He's right at the end: calculus is outdated, maths should go digital.
Calculus is digital. The conceptual reduction of the continuous to the discrete so that it could be subjected to computation was the whole frickin' point.
Right - but not really. Discrete maths is what you get with computer science. Calculus is very low on the curriculum there - and rightly so. So: pushing calculus back in schools makes perfect sense.
