Let''s stop hating Math

That's indeed very unfortunate and I see this kind of behavior all the time in my country too. But I can't understand why mathematics is treated like this. I mean I can understand that people have different abilities and interests, but no one is acting like this on any other subjects. Everyone will gladly learn to draw, sing, play a sport, read literature et cetera which is really cool. But when it comes to Math (almost) everyone starts overreacting.

I am not into university yet, but so far (high school Calculus) I don't have any particular problem with the language of Mathematics (symbols, etc). Well I do understand that this will be different (easier or more difficult) for some people, but I think it's a matter of practice. The same applies to music. Why is music different? The "language" used to express the notes is really confusing if you haven't practiced it enough.
