I completely agree with that statement. Math as a subject is a lot different from pretty much everything you do in high school. Even in 114 and 240 (which are much less theoretical than the standard math major courses) you can sort of see this by watching how the professors do things. They tend to have very unique ways of thinking that actually might have caused them trouble in high school math! I really enjoy math now since I really didn’t like how a lot of the stuff we did in high school lacked any sort of reasoning or explanation. If you had asked me if I wanted to do a math major in high school, I would have said absolutely not.
