Komodos who enjoys maths, what makes you so interested in it?

Genuine question, just saw The Platform 2 where one of the character is a mathematician and explain some stuff that even in Bahasa I wouldn't understand lol

I hate maths when i was in school, i had the same question back in the days but as time goes by i forgot about it, the movie just kinda remind me of it

Edit : Thankyou everyone for the fascinating response, I'm delighted to read all of it
