Math is hard when you do not play with it, when you do not see it as a game.
If you fly the sim, the complex math is performed by the instruments, but the concepts of geometry of orbital mechanics need to be understood by you, so you have fun.

When you play basketball you are using math, because there is a trajectory involved.

When you play chess there is math too.

Math is useful for most of tasks we do, even if we do not realize. Our brains can conduct math integrations to process our daily physics and we do not even realize about it.
