> math is always far more intimidating when you don't understand it than other subjects.

In a way it is like a magic trick. Frustrating when you don't know how it works, but when you find out it's like: oh was that all there's to it? However, unlike a magic trick, math leaves you with something that can be actually useful.

And once you understand it you can't see how you didn't understand it before.
