What has solving simplistic little 1-line problems like "Given f(x) = a, what is x?" got to do with mathematics?
Sure, there's other things. I could think of a few bad analogies for recursion, pointers, algorithms, and architecture; but architecture is often badly taught, and the rest are probably easier to grasp if you can do the first step - solving simple problems.
