Which mathematical ideas have done most to change history?
This is discussed in Steve Strogatz's NYTimes column last spring: opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/from-fish-to-infini‌​ty The Sesame Street video gets right at this! In fact, Strogatz's other columns from this series could be useful fodder for this course.
