Does Math ever get enjoyable to do? I know I'm still in lower division math courses with Calc 3/Differential equations, but it's just not fun to do this stuff. I know when I get a job a computer is going to do the majority of he calculations for me anyway and I'll just be analyzing the data, but is there a point where it's not just mind numbingly remembering various theorems?

Depends on your interests.

Depends on your job and the type of math involved.

If you're getting a math degree, it's more of the same the whole way.
If you're in physics or engineering or something similar, you apply about 10% of it un rigorously. So that might be fun?
I enjoy teaching and analyzing. It's not the content I find enjoyable, but the interactions with other people and development of ideas.

math got better after i took a introductory proof writing course.

IMO, yes, past lower division meme math, it gets infinitely more interesting. Lower division is all about calculations for retarded engineers and other meme sciences. Upper division math is more interesting problem solving.

>It gets better when you take algebra.
This, abstract algebra is the funnest and most interesting class you'll take in math, assuming you're not mentally retarded.

Well you do memorize alot of theorems, but you don't see proofwriting at his level, and proofs can be interesting/fun if you're autistic enough for it.

Don't forget that calculations are still important, though. In undergrad, you may start to think that you never need to do any real calculations in pure math, but the opposite is true.
Especially if you do anything like representation theory or computing spectral sequences or something, calculations are very important.

Yes, once you stop being a jaded dumbass and spend your time exploring topics related to what you're learning instead of shitposting on /sci/.
>is there a point where it's not just mind numbingly remembering various theorems?
Yes, it's called relying on insight instead of memorization.
>Does Math ever get enjoyable to do?
Must depend on the person.
I'd argue it's always a joy, but I also know lot's of people who fear it.
