Eh, it's not Fields medal material, but we're getting to the point we should be glad people don't go and embrace Sharia law. I didn't have a easy time (or a hard time; I had an okay, average time) with maths in high school and went for a degree in the humanities. Soon I was watching roommates study calculus, then studying calculus with them, and then applying for a new major. I went directly to the workforce after graduating, but always kept studying and now I'm doing my masters (which is kind of a-third-to-a-half of the way towards a PhD) in mathematics. So, uh, I agree that the calculus is super important but yeah, people are turned off maths for many different reasons. Let be.
