I will agree with you on the point that mathematics is beautiful. I had always appreciated mathematics for its logic. A proof is either right (it proves) or it is wrong (it does not prove), however, it was not until I was introduced to double and triple integration that I realized the raw power and beauty of calculus.

I start working towards my computer science and math degrees this summer, and my registered courses include discrete mathematics and probability. I can be confident in the fact that I will learn some easily learned ideas that are able to do very powerful things.
