[quote=Anonymous]1) Math is rules-based and therefore can be crammed. 2) Sophisticated written expression often depends on reading at an advanced level. Including archaic and ponderous books that are no longer mainstream. This is very time consuming and modern culture works against finding the time for it. 3) Jobs that involve more math in the job (or just higher math level attainment) tend to pay better so there's a reinforcement loop there. 4) Math is still associated with men doing well/specializing in it. So it has a little bit of patriarchal halo. 5) Calculus has evolved into an agreed component of the selective college application arms race. I believe sheer AP count is an equivalent phenomenon.[/quote]
