Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Idk if anyone is interested in jumping in to this particular question
Question : Why to people get put off by mathematics

I found the Q&A in the latter part of the video interesting. Wiles talks about math competitions, what it takes to be a mathematician, books being the worst way of learning mathematics.
EDIT: His talk about elliptic curves was also cool! I've seen little to no number theory in my undergrad so far.
3rd Q is from Dara O'Briain! I recognized that voice right away!
I enjoyed the lecture, the conversation, and the Q&A. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing talk, especially the QA, mathematicians can certainly relate to what Wiles was talking about. Itβs a series of getting stuck over and over and over again. Until you get stuck again.
