Being a chemical engineering undergraduate I started to enjoy mathematics more and more when I went to university. In highschool you were given a set of theorems and assignments. With these assignments you could practice those theorems. Now at university, lectures are used to prove theorems and I have to say, I absolutely love it. From the derivation of the integral to the hydrodynamic profile of a laminar fluidum: They're not a bunch of characters scrapped together, they're elegant relations fit together in one single formula. But you can't see this beauty if you have not seen the prove.
Maybe theorems just need to be proven and derived at highschool in order to show the real beauty of mathematics.
Your question is why people don't give up 6 months of their time instead of complaining why Google released a browser without modern features? That's madness.

Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!!
Oh wait, this is slashdot...
Not only that, but it also means you can have millions of (parallel) processors on a tiny chip, which results into more performance.
