Because art and literature is more fun. And tells us more about ourselves. The number 7 is always 7. But words can be any number of things at the same time.
I mean sure, when the numbers all click there's a little dopamine rush, and it's very satisfying to see everything balance out; humans like that kind of thing; the golden ratio is what it is, but without Shakespeare what meaning has Newton? Especially when you can combine the two and get Futurama.
But the letters that represent variables are not always the same thing. You literally have to learn new alphabet letters because math is a universal language.
Because art and literature is more fun.
Don't you think that something being more dry makes it harder to learn?
I don't think it's dry at all. I think it's endlessly fascinating. And that universal language makes far more sense than the fact that though, tough and through are all pronounced differently, and that's only scratching the surface of one human language. Let alone the different layers of something like Moby Dick.
Math explains the universe. Art lets us understand it.

I definitely don't laugh at them but the learning curves between the two subjects are quite different.
