Indeed. Although physics is fundamentally qualitative, you must have quantitative understanding to really use it or build on it.
It's also freaking amazing to see how reality adheres to these logical rules of mathematics. It's weird that it actually works - all this moving letters and numbers around equal signs according to certain rules, sorting them around in matrices, taking derivatives and integrals by certain rules...
Also, children are better at learning than adults are. It's tragic how little our system takes advantage of that, and instead slows everyone down to the slowest person. Instead of natural progression, everyone is held back to the level of the weakest link... So much untapped potential and wasted years.
Sciencepone of Science!
