My dad always told me growing up today math was like a game and a puzzle, and I hated that. I also hated math at the time. It felt more like torture than a game.

I didn't fall in love with math until Statistics, Discrete Math, Set Theory and Logic.

It was the realization that math is a language that can be used to describe all the patterns of real world, and help cut through bullshit and reckon real truths about the world.
