Actually, once you get to a certain level in a math degree it becomes more of an "art" at times than just solving equations. When you get into theoretical mathematics it is far from just "solving an equation and passing a test".Gblock;966384 wrote:I get what your saying and to some extent i do agree it is very rigorous, however i know some lawyers and math majors that werent rocket scientists...i will leave the doctors out of that discussion tho...but my point was what may be "harder"for someone in one regard may be "harder" in other aspects. its all relative. doing math problems and passing tests to get a BS in Math may be harder academically for some and maybe not for others. while student teaching other aspects of an education degree may be easy for some and impossible for others.
I did quite well in my theortetical math courses for my math degree but by God I hated them, because it was not what you called "solving equations and passing a test".
Theoretical mathematics is more like an art at times as well to be honest. Even with though my degree was in applied mathematics (more classes in the 'solve this problem' type), I still had to take 4 theoretical math courses that truly sucked balls. Definitely more of an "art".
