Was it not Einstein who said the biggest hindrance to his understanding of physics was his math education (more a accurately, his lack of math education..)

It is perhaps a bit of a shame that mathematics weighs so heavily upon a physics, and mathematics practically being theoretical physics.. It makes it hard for the average person to input.. Physics, and experimenting in physics is as much about imagination and intuitive thinking as it is the math. but, both however are not mutually exclusive. without the imagination and intuitive thought to dream up the ideas and the experiments, the math is without meaning and vice versa.. without out one, the other is somewhat moot.

I somewhat dislike math. However its just something I have to put up with...
