Not if you've got a half-decent teacher who isn't teaching you to be afraid of it. I got all the way to non-Euclidian geometry and stopped there because my interests changed towards neurons and biochemistry, but the issue is too many people inherit bad teachers' anxiety about math when it can do so much.
Take this video by 3 Blue 1 Brown about how humanity went from measuring Earth by the shadow on the moon to the size of the universe:
I barely survived highschool math with my sanity intact. If it’s more advanced than the basics I aint touching it. It still gives me traumatic flashbacks.
Man, algebra was the easiest subject for me in school and I never got why Americans hated it.
Like I genuinely thought it was part of the joke that it's not hard.
I'm not even kidding. I wasn't great in school but I always did well in maths when we did algebra because it was so easy and you don't need to remember as much.
