Mathematical Objects

The mathematical object that is very familiar to most people is a number. That is the reason why people always assume that if you like mathematics, you like numbers.

But some mathematicians don't like numbers very much at all. They like mathematics because they like to do the things that mathematicians do, but the objects that they like to do them with might be

graphs
knots
braids
maps,
finite state machines
surfaces
or any other object that they find interesting to study in a mathematical way

If you are someone who feels like you do not like mathematics, you probably haven't discovered the mathematical objects which appeal to you the most.
