I am considering becoming, as a career, a historian and writer

Numberphile

OP here, I honestly don't like the YT channel Numberphile, not exactly sure why. Too many bells and whistles and not enough elucidation

math teacher

That's not a career. Just become a mathematician and focus in education. People don't and won't get excited about math like they do for science. It seems too pointless for most(and I totally understand that).

I'm too stupid to really get a degree in Math from a solid university. In HS I wasn't in the advanced math classes because I preferred the regular class crowd. Also to this day Calc (which is still a big focus for American college afaik) doesn't inspire me that much. I prefer discrete math anyday.

But that's not to say that I'm bad at math. I just like to go at my own pace so I can absorb all the details 100%

It is a career because if you scour YT you'll find a lot of people doing "Public relations" in math departments.

>> the summation of all numbers is -1/12
It's all positive integers.

If you can't think of any interesting application for math that stimulates curiosity, then you shouldn't be teaching anyone

Or you could be a state sponsored 'educator' ;)

Agreed

Why did you include a post-positive use of the word 'proper'?
