> When I write code, the computer forces me to be 100% precise and will spit errors at me as soon as I do something wrong. This is similar to math though, with the exception that you don't have something or someone telling you that you made a mistake, but you have to seriously question every step in your proof by applying the rules of logic and your knowledge. At a certain point you develop sufficient intuition to spot steps that might be wrong. Most mathematicians ignore steps, which they are not completely confident of being true for the time being, assume the step is true and continue to see whether their derivation leads to what was to be proved, only later checking the steps which they had doubts about. It's more similar to programming than you think. If you like the logical part and algorithmic thinking involved in programming, I'm sure you would also enjoy math if you'd give it a real chance.
