I love mathematics for two reasons. ( 1 ) The patterns are beautiful. ( 2 ) I find it incredibly useful when solving real-life problems.

Math. Hmm. Look at it as a tool rather than something you enjoy. You will find it handy in the future.
I have a friend who is 28 and doesn't know what PIE is.
I did poorly in Math in HS , but when I was in the USAF electronic school, it was a breeze.

In college I did crossword puzzles in math class to keep my mind from drifting.

Looks like I am the odd one here. I love to read and manage to read just about anything including technical items. I have never been a great writer and in school essay questions and spelling were my biggest downfall. I have gotten better over the years but still struggle at times. Never use a paragraph when bullets will work...lol

Math though, I have no issues at all. I do extensive work with Excel and data and find it almost second nature. Once I understand the dataset I am able to work it however required. Building complex equations can actually be rewarding....I did say I was the odd one.

Yep. I love writing but have never enjoyed numbers. This semester ALL three of my classes are numbers, formulas, and Excel heavy. I can’t WAIT until it’s over!

I’m with you, math has always been like Greek to me. Especially the more advanced forms like calculus, algebra and trigonometry. I failed my last two years in high school math, just didn’t open a book. Kept me from going to college, couldn’t stand the idea of having to deal with it again.
Loved civics, like to write and reading. In French or English!

My PSAT scores 50+years ago: 3 wrong answers in the entire " reading/writing section, score 787. Math 493.

Math is my enemy and I WILL see it destroyed one day.
