I'm studying history and Anglistics / Americanistics (English and American language and culture) at the university and thereby I made hobbies a profession. As for mathematics I really suck at anything when I don't see the practical purpose of it. My Dad loves math, studied it, and I dare say that it was for the private lessons he gave me that I managed not to fail in mathematics in the senior grade at school. I didn't inherit my father's love for math.
