I would like to hear other members' reasons for enjoying this subject because I hope it will give me a reason to enjoy math as well. For those of you who do enjoy math, allow me to ask this question: Why? What captures your pleasure in learning and studying math? What makes math so exciting for you? I know that may not be an easy question to answer, but try to come up with some other answers besides, "Because math is just my thing."

I, personally, dislike math because:
- One careless, minute mistake in solving the problem can mess you up.
- It is too complicated (in my opinion).

Feel free to counter my reasons with contrasting statements.

Thanks,

It's too complicated ..

There's almost nothing i learn in my life which is not complicated . Say for English , i used to take English Literature once upon a time and Shakespears or Macbeth's poems have driven me crazy , especially when they use lots of classical English .

Like Chris said , its the self satisfaction which has driven me to love math . I hate it when i fail to nail down a problem but the self pride and satisfaction u get when u crack a tough problem is just simply immeasurable .
