I've noticed that a lot of the recent problems are significantly more math-heavy (and therefore harder? It might just be me not coming from a math background) than before. Doing 1500s from recent contests feels harder than doing 2000s from past contests. Anyone else feeling this?

Your observation is right. I think since problem ratings are set according to user ratings, user rating inflation affects problem ratings.
