I heard the following nice metaphor from a professor: learning mathematics is like learning to ride a bike, at some point you just need to get on the bike, you don't just study some "theory of bicycles".
I don't think math is that different from other subjects, but it has this advantage that it is a whole world that you can carry with you and experiment, you don't need that many tools for your exploration.
