I enjoy mathematics myself. I'm currently in the process of going back to college and have been taking algebra at Seattle Central. I get a lot of satisfaction out of finding the answer. To me, in algebra, the process feels a bit like working on a minigame puzzle in a video game. I'm not far enough along yet to really see any problems with direct bearing on the real world, although I'm sure that when I get to calculus I'll see some with a bearing on physics, and that statistics will address all manner of real world concerns. But for now, I feel like I'm learning the vocabulary of a language or the elements.
I think that math is essentially the language we use to describe the world around us, and as such is as important to learn as our natural languages. Not learning math seems like it keeps people in the dark, abstract thought and reason wise.
