But it goes further too, for the first time setting out a completely alternative vision for a core computational school subject to fix the problem and seed more general reformation of education for the AI age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart I: The Problem\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Maths v.
