You do not like rigorous mathematics? That's probably because you haven't been exposed to a lot of it, but most of university mathematics is intuition/motivation -> definition -> derivation -> proof/other justification -> examples/application. There, everything is formal and you usually won't be given analogies like "a function is a machine," which is the popular one with functions.

I am not MIF.
On a side note, what stage do you teach? I think you mentioned AS/A level some time ago.

it was said by Rene Thom. It is not necessarily my viewpoint on rigor.
