Hardest math class you've taken?

Wait till you get to college. Then take higher-level math classes. See if it is easy, then.

QFT

Anyone take P.D.E.? I heard that stuff was crazy hard.

I took PDE my senior year... it's tough, but after taking DE and an analysis course, it didn't seem too bad.

I got a B

A in multivariable calc though

 

[Ausm]

Diff EQ

Ausm

 

[PING]

linear algebra and statistics. my head always hurt after those class.

 

[dave127]

calc 2 definitely...although i didnt have to take diff eq. (actuarial science major)...in probability theory now, seems easy enough, we'll see what regression analysis and time series is like, though....sound a bit scary

I think it counts as math since most of what we did was binary tree theory. The hardest class, and the most work I have ever done.

My whole high school (8th grade in middle school too) years in math has been very very easy so far. I love math. Algebra, geometry, algebra 2, and just started precal. I'm hoping to get in to Calculus AP next year.

 

[Sledgehamer70]

AP Trigonometry A, B, & C took 3 classes my Junior Year got all A's I like math Graduated in 2000 my class had 527 students.

Tested out and didn't have to take math in College

calc 2 is a biatch, i heard linear is easier that the layer work of calc2.

 

[screw3d]

Calculus II was easy for me but now Calc III sucks for me because I took Calc II two years ago

I'd put in another vote for Differential Equations as the hardest. the class that I took combined both Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. Linear Algebra was still ok, but Diff Eq kicked my ass and I can't remember sh1t from that class

 

[oslama]

Calculus, failed it twice

 

[eakers]

without a doubt (fourth year) functional analysis

argh

 

[Tiamat]

Chemical Engineering Kinetics.

Lots of 2nd order partial diff eqs.

A-

 

[VIAN]

Trigonometry.

Seemed harder than Calculus.

Looks like you forgot to learn grammar, though.

 

[The Pentium Guy]

Geometry.

I found Calculus and linear algebra to be MUCH easier.

 

[KillerCharlie]

Runge-Kutta > DifEq

 

[D1gger]

Matrix Algebra in first year University. No question this was the toughest mathematics class I ever took. It was the only math class I got less than an A in and I struggled to get a C.

 

[QurazyQuisp]

I'm in Calc at MSU right now... not bad... although I took Intro to Calc in HS so we went over everything we've learned so far. Hopefully it's my last math class, but we'll see.

 

[cbehnken]

Calc 1 in college

 

[misterj]

geometric topology 2

oh f*ck i had to write a matlab program for the Runge-Kutta method in my numerical analysis class. that was NOT fun

 

[Theguynextdoor]

I would say Calc AP for my senior year, but by then I was sick of honors/ap classes, that I never did any of the hw and never showed up for any of the tests. Failed the class, but didn't really care.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Linear Algebra / Diff. Eq. I got a D+. Never did HW, attended only half the discussions, so I naturally missed 50% of the quizzes. Got Cs on my midterms, and so I am retaking now.

I seem to be doing pretty f*cking well in this class now considering I did ace calculus and my other math courses with flying colors.... I still cant' believe I failed math....

In 10th grade I had Geometry Honors? I think it was, and the teacher was the biggest biotch in the world, and I didn't do any homework, and didn't do anything in class and failed. Next year I took reg Geometry with a cool teacher, and got all A's. Then for senior year, I started out in Algebra 2, but I didn't like school, and realized early on into the class it was going to be more work than I was motivated for as a senior, and just wanting to get out of their. So I switched to Business Math, and was surrounded by people who actually belonged in the class who thought I was the smartest guy that ever lived heh =)
