    The hard part of math isn’t understanding esoteric symbols it’s the theory behind it and it’s application. Number theory will mindbreak almost all people.

      The hardest thing for me about math was the symbols. Greek, Roman, English.

      Once you get past that, the numbers are easy.

        Number theory and higher levels of math are a completely different beast. Once your exam is over 50% just writing proofs you will change your tune. Unless you are built for it.
