Math isn't like something like science or medicine, or politics. It's not something where there are multiple valid viewpoints or equivalent opinions. Math is the one thing that cannot change. In fact, most skeptics in history about math have been wrong. It is the one immovable subject of knowledge. The universal language of the universe. There is math in everything. Disagreeing with anything in math is not going to change what it is. Math has a nature such that so long as they check out, they cannot be wrong. Just because the physical universe doesn't make all the math apparent doesn't mean it isn't there. The only real opinions in math are things like whether or not something is useful or just a curiosity, or about which branch cut is best on a multi-valued function, things like that that have nothing to do with the actual information in the math themselves. The rest are immovable facts.
Math is really my passion. My teachers all described me as incredibly gifted in math, even claimed I'd be the next great mathematician of history. I can't find a way to say this without you assuming I'm being arrogant, but there really isn't any choice. Math is my strongest area. I have probably spent more of my life on math than most people my age have spent on anything. I have over 20,000 hours of experience working with very complex math way beyond high school level, and the most recent beyond college level over the last seven years. That's over two years worth of hours there. I have written mathematical papers already, unpublished, deriving brand new formulas never used before by anyone. So please resist your urge to say I'm being disrespectful just because I say I know what I'm talking about in math. Perhaps you can understand now why I'm so unmovable in areas of math. I quite honestly know more about it than most people ever will. I wouldn't call myself math boy otherwise.
If you want an example, I have derived closed form solutions to several dozen values of the gamma function. Which is a very important function in mathematics that is basically an extension of the factorial to non-integer numbers. It's something that has never been done before and it wasn't easy. The latest round took two years to calculate. Extremely difficult. I do know what I am doing in math. so please, "arrogant" is a rather unfair description. I actually do know what I'm talking about in math.
I strongly am against people hiding what they're talented at just because others don't like being told that someone knows what they're talking about. I find it more offensive than what they claim to be offended by. Check out the anti-intellectualism thread if you want to look into that more.
