What were the topics that you found difficult in mathematics in your studies, and what was the easiest?
For me easiest was ordinary differential equations, and probability and most difficult was geometry.

Easy: all algebra and geometry
Eh: statistics
Hard: the rest

Math was generally easy for me. I majored in math in college mostly because I found it far easier than anything else.

Easy: Calculus, Discrete Math, Elementary - High School material including: Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calc...
Tolerable: Linear Algebra
Hard: Haven't touched this material but I figure it's gonna be Real Analysis and Topology...

I hope so, but I'm always down for a challenge  |

easy: Algebra -> ODE's
mid: Linear Algebra, discrete math/some stats
hard: PDE's, any high level proof-based course (Real Analysis, Topology)

I used to struggle with the mathematics of high school, like surds, algebra, I mean, i used to understand the concept but was not able to apply them. Post, when I moved to intermediate college, or pre- college, i had observed that i was quite good in finishing them.
I then realized that it was not my 'INCOMPETENCE', but the way I have been taught. In pre college, I had got an excellent teacher who re-inforced the concepts into me, and also taught me how to figure out the patterns of differentiation, integration, matrix algebra etc.

Currently I'm finishing up a PDE and Real analysis course and I would say those are probably the toughest. The "highest" math course I took was a numerical methods class but that wasn't really challenging compared to the courses I'm taking currently. |

What were the topics that you found difficult in mathematics in your studies, and what was the easiest? For me easiest was ordinary differential equations, and probability and most difficult was geometry. This question is for you, young people, but it reminds me of my youth; so, I shall answer it. Geometry (proving theorems, etc.) was always easy for me, as is any process of argumentation in any subject. However, I did not develop a love of mathematics until when, in high school, I took a course in trigonometry with an enlightening teacher. (In the regents examination I scored 99%, and I always wondered at what mistake I could have made, since I knew I was highly proficient in that subject.) In college I liked Analytical Geometry but I could not understand the formulas of Calculus until on my own I read Galileo's mathematical analyses of his data of freely falling objects (which prompted Newton's and Leibnitz' creation of Differential and Integration Calculus). Anyway, I majored in science rather than mathematics. (Afterwards, I went into Philosophy.)

So far, Linear Algebra has been the easiest, and either Differential Equations or Calculus has been the hardest (I think it just depends on the teacher, though tbh).
