I don't understand why there seems to be a languages/math dichotomy. I remember in school teachers used to bucket people in one or the other.

But from what I can tell, and also from the article, they have a lot of common ground. Learning either requires understanding of structure, but also a fair bit of memorization. Learning conjugations by heart is not all the different to learning trig relations. You also need both on the fly when you're using your language/calculus.
