When did math really star being "fun" for you?
For me it was in high school trig, finally clicked for me and everything started flowing together. Now I am in college and planning to major in math.

around the time of derivatives probably, but i was interested in logic and philosophy of science/math from a much younger age. i didn't do calculus until college, because i spent most of highschool partying and doing drugs.

I was taking a class on multivariate calculus (although it was a bit watered down) in my economics degree and it was a lot of fun, so I changed my major to math and stats

Probably group theory. A group is such an abstract object that can model so many systems. When you hear something like "the number of groups order 6 is two", it feels like reading the operating system of the universe.

When I learned what a vector space is. Solving the cross product of two functions for the first time is a surreal experience when up until that point vectors were always arrows.

Never. I passed it in undergrad and that was it.

for me it was when i learned about feynman. idk what it was specifically, i think it was how excited he got when he talked about math, science, etc. kind of made academic things in general more fun for me.

Thinking about and learning about math was always fun for me, until I undertand most of a given branch then it instantly becomes really fucking boring.
It's also why I'm shit at algebra, because after you understand "most" of it you have to practice to build intuition which is one of the most mentally painful things I've experienced so far.

Double Integrals - the idea of just extending the concept of integration anywhere was a great one

If you can't solve problems, can you really claim you understand something? That's the most important part of learning, otherwise you're just reading a textbook like it's a novel.

Well, what else can "I'm shit at algebra" imply?

Better to go into engineering. Get your masters and you’ll still do a ton of math.
