At this point, one feels obliged to qualify that the only reason why Calculus counts as a pleasure is because it is perhaps the only branch of Math wherein one doesn't die in.
i am more surprised by your considering postmodern academic prose (http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/) a pleasure! interstitial matrices and discourses and fiddly jargon, oh my.
'tis the same reasoning, really. it's horrible going through it, but one gets this perverse pleasure from finishing it. pleasure enough to outweigh the pain, in my case.
