Math means a lot of different things. Arithmetic is a part of math. Geometry is a part of math. > Math is much more.

Well put. I'm not sure I agree that the skill sets are completely overlapping, but I do agree that abstraction and logic are major components of both fields. > Now, if you are a good programmer (which I have > absolutly no doubts about), you surely also have the > skills to understand math. And you would surely > have no problems reading a book that demands this kind > of skills. Very true. However, ability is different from interest. Also, a beginning programmer may not have built up their abstraction and logic skills yet. I suspect it might be easier for them to do so in one domain (programming) rather than two at the same time (math and programming). But that's just me. Ignore me and I'll go away. > Who believes that most people would have the skills for > math - but for some (educational?) reasons they are > afaid of it Some are afraid. Others (like me) have spent enough time with math to "get" it, but still dislike it, except in those cases where it is relevant to my task at hand.
