People usually throw up the sign of the cross when they find out.
Not necessarily. There was one year we had a very enthusiastic math teacher. Nice man, liked by everyone and always trying to communicate his fascination. He was an astronomer, which made it a whole lot easier, since explaining math by using astronomical examples is much more interesting than just learning the formulas.
Sadly he left, finally getting a job in his chosen profession. And the teacher that came next, for the ensuing three years, saw it as her foremost duty to bore us to death.
