One of the reasons why programmers and computer scientists love their job so much, relative to many other fields is that CS was not part of the school curriculum.
I hope CS and programming is integrated into science and Math. I bet most students would love to solve real-world science problems instead of solving abstract puzzles. I wish I had exercises like:
1. Write a program to predict the trajectory of a free throw.
2. Collect Fitbit-like data from every student, find interesting correlations and perform qualitative analysis too.
3. Perform basic image processing tasks using matrix multiplications.
Instead of:
1. Integrate sqrt(tan(x)) [IIT 94] (Yeah, Indian text books highlight questions from previous years' exams).
2. Memorize a bunch of chemical equations without understanding how they work.
3. Find the determinant of this ridiculous matrix using an arcane trick.
