Why is Math Hated?

[Aadhiris]

So... mathematics, or math. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, math is known as "the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects." It's a school subject taught all around the world for people of nearly all ages and it is extremely important to our society as we know it. Even so, math seems to be heavily disliked by many people, including myself. But why? Here are some of my reasons:

why does everyone dislike math
especially logic
logic is fun

Not when the logic feels illogical.
They try to teach you an incomprehensible foreign language that doesn't exist and expect you to understand it and do work about it, but it makes zero sense whatsoever and all it does is make your brain hurt. It feels useless, overly challenging, and like a complete waste of your time when you could be working on schoolwork that you actually understand.

After doing a bit of digging around, I've also found a few more reasons why someone would hate math. Some examples of these are there being no room for creativity and less opportunities to earn points or get high scores, a painful amount of memorization and understanding (which I hate), making tons of mistakes and having to do things over (which I also hate) and the fact that it's just plain boring (...which is another thing that I hate). All of this makes me wonder: how do people love math? How can people love math so much that it comes second-nature to them like writing does for me? How could schools make math fun and how could they improve way that it and other subjects are taught?

In short, why do you like/dislike math? Why is math important? How could we change the way it's taught to make it "fun?"
Personally I think I'll still go on believing that math should be abolished if we were ever given the chance to do so, but you guys can try convincing me otherwise XP.

Extremely bad teachers in my case.

[Rylland]

I'm sorry to say this but:

I'm studying Math rn.

Also, the reason why Math sucks is because it looks hard, but looks easy to me thanks to studying it.

[The Terren Dominion]

Because people get bad teachers who don't guide and support them. Math is legitimately fun IF you have a great teacher. I hated math for a long time because I had really bad teachers, but when I finally got a good one I started to really enjoy it.

It does not stay politicized.
Zero will inevitably have its day.

I always had math the first or last period of the day so I was often too tired to fully grasp the concept. Not to mention, there were just too many students

[Nimzonia]

It's a defensive response because people are dumb and can't do it. There really isn't much more to it than that.

Rene Descartes stole my spine in 1647.

You want to know why?

You want to know why?

Why math's hated? Yeah...

When I hit the geometry wall after dominating algebra, I mostly blamed myself.

[Turenia]

I suck at math and can hardly understand it

[Dantek]

Because fuck algebra

[Bervianan National Guard]

For me, I actually enjoy math sometimes, like it is difficult, sure, but it is still challenging. For me, I think math is hated not because of how difficult it is (it still contributes some to some parts), but it is how people teach it. People teach it in a boring and most of the time in an overly complex way rather than engaging or in a fun way. Heck, you can explain math in a simple way.

1. It's incredibly complicated.
2. Most of it revolves around concepts that are just so absurd, outlandish, out-of-this-world and out there.
3. What the absolute shitfuck is pᵃ × pᵇ = p⁽ᵃ⁺ᵇ⁾, 2³ × 2² = 2⁽³⁺²⁾, (9 . p² . q⁻³)⁴ × (27 p⁴ . q⁻²)³, √300 + 2 √48 - 3√45??!??!??!!
4. Why in the name of a hypothesized universal creator-type being should I need to know how to solve these conundrums?
5. I'm not a nerd, and I never will be.
6. I don't have enough braincells to understand this quivering hot mess.
7. I don't think that knowledge on how to solve square root or logarithmic equations will benefit me in a 9-5 minimum wage job.
8. Personally, I still have respect for mathematicians, but I secretly loathe them.
9. Why does every country on the Asian continent need each and every generation of kids to know this useless nonsense?

Same.

You always have great takes, Ceres.

Simple, there is only one right answer, it’s objective, so if you mess up one step the entire thing it’s wrong. Whereas I don’t have to fully understand or pay attention in literature to score a high grade, as it’s much more forgiving.
All you need to know in life is basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, along with a calculator which can be found on all modern phones.

Thank you!

My upbringing in a less-than-sane working class Indonesian family torn apart by divorce has made me this way.

Because being kept up until 11 at night being yelled at for not being able to figure out maths problems does not inspire confidence.

I'm curious, do you get questions like pᵃ × pᵇ = p⁽ᵃ⁺ᵇ⁾, 2³ × 2² = 2⁽³⁺²⁾, (9 . p² . q⁻³)⁴ × (27 p⁴ . q⁻²)³ or hell, even √300 + 2 √48 - 3√45?

Fractions will always be my anathema. Nevermind that gibberish.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Bad teachers account for a lot of the hate, especially if the teaching is traumatic. Another thing is aptitude. Not everyone enjoys the same subjects or is proficient in them and that can develop into dislike or hatred.

See? even others call that gibberish!

Why do we need to know about such things anyway?
