Exactly! Me too.... similarly, I like science, but I do hate how they teach it in school. They never tell you why differentiation is like that, or why there is a tricuspid valve in the right ventricle but only a bicuspid vavle in the left.

I rather enjoyed statistics and probability though. Those two topics were the only ones I enjoyed in Maths.
