Hmm. Finding maths so dull was probably one of the main reasons that I didn't peruse a degree and CS or physics. Which was a disastrous decision for me personally. Not that I just couldn't face studying anything unexciting per se, but that I (wrongly) assumed that if I didn't find something interesting then i could never be sufficiently good at it. At high school I was 'streamed' into one of the lower tier math classes, which I resented - result was getting a higher mark in the end than most of the top-tier students. But perhaps I would have been better off in a more advanced class where I'd struggle more but at least find the stuff interesting. Anyway my point is it's a shame to turn people away from maths by offering such stale curriculum.
