I got interested in hardware for a brief amount of time. There were so many things I wanted to build. Then I realized that to do anything moderately complex I would need a math ability far beyond my own and had to give it up.

I agree though, that something tangible ends up being cooler than software.

You can do a lot without the need of any higher level math, yes it makes it easier if you know some, but it's not required for most projects!

Besides, people smarter than us have a lot of really great tutorials and explanations, if you need something specific. Be creative!
