My physics teacher likes to say that physics like to make problems they face look like ones that they know how to solve. A simple harmonic oscillation was one he frequently used in class, as is presumably the case in physics in general.

A C programmer is at a great disadvantage when learning C++ and OO. The programmer must do a lot of unlearning before he or she can become an effective, competent C++ programmer (start with Scott Meyers' Effective C++).
This perhaps is a major source of criticisms of OO and other modern software development methodologies.
