Math is just a much deeper topic than most others. The things people do in research level math can take a really long time to explain to a lay person because of the many layers of abstraction involved.
It is a very deep and specialised topic. However, there are ways to convey intuition to a 'mathematically mature' audience, and there are quick definitions that are correct but unenlightening. I much prefer the former :)
