Almost everything on my list was done... Remain two entries. I've written one today yet.
I don't know how is in your country, but recently in Poland I noticed the large hatch of the humanists. Such person isn't humanist, but is only the freaking ignoramus.
If you in group (There I want to use word similar to Polish "towarzystwo", generally I mean a group of people) say that you're humanist you in a certain sense have acquiescence for ignorance. If you haven't aptitude for mathematics, it at all doesn't means that you're humanist. With the mathematics skills is the same as all other skills. I think all people have the same intellectual potential. Everything depends on the hardworking and attitude. You know what? If you claim that you aren't mathematically gifted, you probably are an idiot. Certainly you had very weak teacher.
Maths, who cares?
Ok, I don't like maths (I prefer learn English ;) or History), but I don't claim that I am humanist. Maths in school of course could be boring (I know that I often grumble on school), but this subject isn't only silly exercises. Maths could develop your mind. I think generally about the brain development. If you are use your brain more often, later you easier to accept the knowledge. Brain won't rust ;)
Cheers

Almost everything on my list hwas been done...
TRemain two entries remain.
I've yet to written one today yet.
I don't know whatow it is like in your country, but recently in Poland I noticed the large hatch of the humanists in Poland.
Such persoplen areisn't humanists, but areis only the freaking ignoramuses.
But there are also really great people, real humanists who's passion is history, philosophy, history of art or literature and that's great. And these disciplines are, in spite of appearances, very tightly connected to mathemathics, for example.
And you wrote that: "all people have the same intellectual potential. Everything depends on the hardworking and attitude. If you claim that you aren't mathematically gifted, you probably are an idiot". But it's not true. I know a few people who just can't get maths, just don't get it no matter how many time they learn (and they learn a lot, very lot), and they aren't idiots, they are normal people, one of them is for example very good in German. So... it is not that like you write.
And I'm not writing this because I'm a humanist or a "humanist" - on the contrary, I like real science like physics, informatics, biology, and maths, maths is my truly love :)
I think you mean students who do not study maths, sciences or technology.
We don´t really have a word for this, but the non-scientific subjects are called (at least in Britain) Arts and Social Studies. (Arts = Languages, Literature, Philosophy, etc and Social Sciences = History, Geography, Politics, Psychology, Socio,logy, etc).
Sometimes they are just referred to as "Arts subjects". Some American colleges refer to "Humanistic Studies" or even "Humane Studies" but this is not a term in widespread use.
Hope this is sufficiently confusing ;-)
