It&#x27;s simple. If you&#x27;re  not passionate for a topic you&#x27;re  not going to care for it.<p>I hated math when I wasn&#x27;t passionate about it. In school a lot of math classes were about route memorization,  not going through or writing beautiful proofs.<p>Why don&#x27;t they teach more abstract math in school? I love studying number theory and category theory.
