I like math because it is very straight forward. Most people have an unfair attitude towards math. Most of it is because of high school myth and childish fear. The hardest part about math is that many topics require people to use concepts they will not fully understand.
Typical lesson:
Teacher/Professor comes into class and announces new topic. He starts out by doing a long rigorous proof of the key concepts. Everyone groans and mumbles because they can't follow the steps(no one does). At the end, the professor tells everyone that he/she will NOT require students to prove the concepts. But, that flies over everyone's head. The teacher proceeds to do an example using the final result, which involves only plug and chug. However, everyone is upset with from the long proof, refuses to learn anything else because they have already made up their minds that the topic is too hard...

I began to detest math in high school; had the worst teacher I ever saw "teaching" it. He literally had me hating Algebra, so much so, I deliberately too a class levels above Algebra to test out of it!
Later I found out that some people do better with math than others because we use our brains differently. I am excellent at writing, social studies, psychology, etc., because that uses a different part of the brain than math does.

I DID until I got into college and started taking calculus 1 and 2. I dont hate those classes, I just dont find them easy like all the other math was.

In general, I don't like math. I'm thirteen, and to me, it's confusing. But it depends on what math. Obviously, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are easy. But fractions- ugh. Percentages are okay. I don't really like it but people say i'm good at it. I don't agree. Also, a contributing factor of why I don't like it is whenever i'm doing a problem I don't understand my mom gets mad and we get into a fight. I much prefer Language Arts or History!

Only when it makes sense and it's easy. Most people tend to not like math because they don't understand the problem and can't admit they need help.

Yes and no. Yes only because I know how to do it when I do study it. No because there's no way anyone will use anything higher than simple math on the job unless it's construction/fashion design/other unique jobs.

No i dislike it a lot! Most math you learn you never use in real life anyways. I dont mind the easy math that can be fun, but college algebra, satistics, trig. who uses that??

Math's answer's may not be understandable but they are derivable logically. It points at something only humans can do. Yes.
