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.

10 years ago I was in highschool and they tought us BASIC, PASCAL, DBASE and C. Today they teach the kids PASCAL, VISUAL FOX, C and C++. It is a step forward BUT the inertia is enormous. Why don't they teach PYTHON (Algorithms), PYTHON (objects), PYTHON (GUI), PYTHON (patterns)?
