"Many people are put off by the obscure symbols and strict rules of math, giving up on a problem as soon as they see both numbers and letters involved. But while math may be dense and difficult at times, the results it can prove are sometimes beautiful, mind-boggling, or just plain unexpected."

Number 1 reminds me of my thought that math is largely convention, or at least appears so, except for the most basic formulas like e=mc©, or my favorite, v=ir, or basic functions like addition or subtraction. It looks like convention to me probably because I'm not talented at math.
