IMO, Mathematics are abstract aesthetics, invisible unless you to forget your senses for a minute and see in relationships, recurrences, evolution .. patterns. Add the fact that the mathematical culture is cryptic .. (centuries of abstraction stacked and compressed in a symbol, unspoken principles, ...) and that it's very badly taught in the first years of school, you get inaccessibility.
