Was my favorite subject as well, precisely for those reasons. Not sure how to teach the beauty of mathematics to those who are uninitiated though. I think it really should come in at the elementary school level, when you can show really cool things about numbers like Fibonacci sequence or binary system or simple cryptography, and make mathematics seem magical and cool (and not wait until high school with these concepts, when it's too late to convince most non-predisposed folks of the poetic beauty of mathematics; you can absolutely teach these concepts earlier).
