Is There a Difference Between Computing First and Mass Later?

In terms competing we first do the competing from scratch ourselves, then as to use some bulton packages or functions that are already existing. I think our approach can be summarized as computing first, mass later. But mathematical derivations first actually put off students. They are challenging at first, but if they know how things work, they are more interested in knowing why does it work. And sometimes during class, i don't finish a topic tat i didn't get to the math derevation, they're already asking me, why is this happening? Can you prove it to us? Then next class i can actually go over the proofs. So i think competing helps raise that curiosity in learners that
