Arguably the most under-appreciated art form: patterns, symmetries, shapes, formulas, rules, proofs, applications, mysteries, myths, philosophies, ahas, and the like.
If math is the language of science and technology, why is it the world’s most disliked school subject for billions of students and their parents?

Get the Math mug.One of the core disciplines within science. The major fields within mathematics are algebra, analysis, number theory, topology, geometry, combinatorics, and logic. Math is concerned with structure, space, change, and quantity.
Mathematics requires much rigor for writing proofs. Most people are only introduced to mathematics that does not require such rigor. Mathematics is extremely influential in many fields, and, without it, modern society would not be the same - it would be less advanced.

It is only two weeks into the term that, in a calculus class, a student raises his hand and asks: "Will we ever need this stuff in real life?" The professor gently smiles at him and says: "Of course not - if your real life will consist of flipping hamburgers at MacDonald's!"

Get the Math mug.Short for mathematics - the logical study of quantity (numbers) and abstract structure (geometry), their operations, properties, applications, and how they all interrelate.
Aside from its incredible value in real-world applications (science, engineering, business, etc.), mathematics is also taught in schools because it's the best system to demonstrate and strengthen the vital concepts of deductive reasoning, objectivity, and abstract thinking.
People who are quick to say they hate math are typically those who had horrible math teachers/curricula in school, and never grasped the basic underlying concepts of math. Other reasons for an individual's poor math skills might include having a short attention span, no confidence to question what isn't understood, and the simple reinforcement by peers that it's OK to remain bad at math. But like a sonet or a piece of sheet music, mathematics reveals its beauty to those who speak its language.
