I think the problem is that they are trying to teach math to generalists where in front of them are students formed to understand programmatical problems.

Where the problems be restructured to a programatical problem, then it would work far far better.

Mathematical exercises aim to solve 1 problem with 1 given set of parameters, programatical exercises aim to solve 1 problem with ANY given sets of parameters.

And that’s what made me loose interest in math during my CS years.
