    Marconi Communication Systems (radio design). The SMP syllabus ditched calculus in favour of set theory and matrices. All three are used in electronics, but sets and matrices are easier than calculus, so I had to work harder to catch up with calculus than others did to keep up with matrices etc. It's a fair point that numerical methods have taken over now that digital computing has become so cheap though, even in the late 1970s we were still taught a little about analogue computers!
