I may be biased as I am a trained Mathematician, but I always feel when someone says "Math is Hard", that is because they had bad teachers.
Math is easy if you build up from fundamentals, not like physics education where you say "but lets delete everything before because it had an oversimplifying assumption", rather if you build your knowledge entirely sequentially from things you know or assume, you build up a toolbag that applies literally everywhere.
So math isnt hard. Learning random bits of math out of context is hard. Climb the ladder once, you have it for life.

Hopefully for this person that sticks.
