I actually found this thread after clicking your username from your chemistry post earlier. Anyhow, I want to give you my insight.

I absolutely hated math in high-school. I failed algebra, yet I still was fascinated by my science classes. I assumed I was just "bad at math" and prepared for life as an english major in college (I'm serious, I really did). I studied hard SAT's and actually did pretty damn good for my own standards, and realized that I could learn whatever I wanted to as long as I put my mind to it. It was only shortly after that I decided I wanted to learn how to control the building blocks of the universe and delved into chemistry.

On the day of orientation, we learned that we had to take math courses Calculus 1, 2, 3, and differential equations. I almost shit my pants and changed my major that day, but I told myself that I would at least try.

I fucking poured myself into my math classes and busted my ass in them, I started at the lowest math course that my college offered and after over 2 years passed differential equations, with A's in all my courses. It was a fucking struggle, I won't lie, but I want to tell you that I didn't realize the beauty of mathematics until Calculus I. During Calculus I, you see everything click, every stupid algebra operation you had to learn finally has a purpose, it describes the real-world we are living in, and is the most-powerful tool known to man. I almost double-majored in math, but I would have had to stay at university an extra year, and decided not to.

Math is, in my honest opinion, the truest subject of all reality. It is the essence of describing relationships, and can be used to determine the most unimaginable things (thanks quantum mechanics). You may hate math now, as I did, but if you try hard, you may find yourself to find appreciation of its beauty, and hopefully mastery of its concepts.

Much respect to my mathematician brothers!
