This response is frustrating because I feel like you didn't read my comment, but instead honed in on a single phrase, "complex equations". Even in the context of that sentence that's a moot point. If you'd like, replace "solve complex equations" with what you consider to be the best, most useful, fun part about math, and it does not change my point. I'm sorry I chose an example that seems to have offended you, but I do understand that there's more to math than solving complex equations. That said, to re-summarize my point tersely: If someone doesn't like a particular field, I still feel that they can be successful programmers by focusing on fields that they do like which are also useful.
