Math is cool (or it could be my math major-induced bias talking). Proving things is fun, it's like a puzzle or a maze you have to work through, and can be difficult as hell, but at the end you can look at it and it's so clear and solid. Even intro stuff, like proving that (-1)x = -x (not as simple as it looks), or showing that there are more real numbers between zero and one then there are rational numbers on the whole number line. Being able to show things like this, to express it with a series of symbols and unequivocable logic...there's a beauty to it. And it's more interesting than the plug-and-chug math you have to go through to get to a real theory/proof course.
MATH JOKE:
A graduate math TA is hanging out with some of his fellow math buddies (ahem, nerds), and is telling them about how he has been helping a freshman chick study for her calc final. "She took her final and got an A on it, and rode her bike over to my place to tell me about it. Then she came into my room, took all of her clothes off, and told me she was so greatful that I could have anything I wanted." "So, what did you do?" ask his friends. "I took the bike of course," he replies. "Yeah," they say, "you would have looked pretty stupid in her clothes anyway."
