Math is pretty esoteric when think about it.
Things like complex numbers, calculus and infinite series have an occult vibe within them.
So why most education systems try to teach those subjects in the most boring way possible?

Because you have to get through the hard boring work to truly understand

Because those who are capable of appreciating mathematical beauty will seek it out.

high school teachers don't have enough math educations to teach abstract concepts, and university teachers don't understand the subject from the student's perspective so they'll abstract it too much. If you are lucky you will find a techer with the knowledge of the subject and the ability to make you have good intuition of the subject without getting bogged down by the details.
Most things in math are actually very simple, it is just the layers of abstraction, notations, and language, that make it seem complicated for beginners.

it's not simple for the average dumbfucks out there. many of the retards can't even imagine what would happen if they didn't eat breakfast this morning.
in fact, only 3 layers of abstraction would filter out 99% of the population.

Take a course on complex analysis and then tell me again what you think about "complex numbers". There is nothing aesthetic or esoteric about them. They are ugly, unintuitive and inherently ungeometric. This mistake needs to be erased from the math texbooks.

"id be hungry, eat a bigger lunch maybe"
is this somehow the wrong answer or am i an average dumbfuck

Your answer is right. Their answer is literally "But I didn't have breakfast". Even if you question them further to reduce misunderstanding.

Dude complex numbers are just 2D numbers.
Just use the intuition you get from geometry.

Numbers cannot be 2-dimensional. This contradicts the concept of a number.

Arithmetic with complex numbers is more fun and more beautiful than with real ones.

โ "In many ways, the mathematical quest to understand infinity parallels mystical attempts to understand God. Both religion and mathematics attempt to express relationships between humans, the universe, and infinity. Both have arcane symbols and rituals, and impenetrable language."

Nah man, i really enjoyed the Residue theorem.
The fact the you can use the singularities in a region to calculate the contour integral around that region in really fascinating

Boring in what sense? Boring in that it's mostly just simple memorization and requires little thinking? Most people are either incapable or unwilling to do that, and you don't need a deep level of understanding to become an engineer
