It's surprising to see so few math haters in the hexagon (the thin outer shell). I'm guessing there is a self-reporting bias, since if you hate math you wouldn't really want to fill in this survey...
It's also interesting to note that many of the haters direct their hate towards rote learning tasks like arithmetic calculations and memorizing multiplication tables, which makes me think that they don't really hate math but rather the way it is taught. I'd hate math too if I saw it as following procedures blindly! Perhaps with better computer math tools[1], future students won't be forced to learn "manual labour" math tasks, and instead focus on "white collar" tasks like modelling and abstraction.
