> Did bad high-school mathematics education conditioned us all to hate everything that's related to mathematics? Label a concept "this is just engineering practice" or "this is just physics. this equation describes how universe works" and people will happily accept it as is. I won't say it better than in this post![1] It's really too bad that people in general are struggling with the different problems related to Mathematics, or because they don't have a good environment to learn, or other things like that. The thing is when someone starts to learn Mathematics, the beginning is really tough. You have a new language to learn, you have to do everything the "hard way", you have to learn the "handshakes", and because your mind is your only compiler/error check. But the longer you train yourself the better you get, until you have enough basic knowledge to read and learn anything. At the end it is so grateful to overcome that, and so useful because Mathematics is such a powerful tool.
