I finished Calc in my Junior Year, the district didn't offer anything i could take in my senior year so i didn't have any math class then.

At my high school Math Analysis / Trig was the hardest for me (I took through Calculus BC at my school). However, my senior year I took differential equations (technically I was in high school, but I took it at a community college) and that was harder than math analysis.

I found Trig/Algebra II to be pretty hard. that was the most advanced math I've ever taken, though. Calc. was an optional class in high school -- instead of taking that during senior year, I took 2 semester-long English courses.

only math I've ever enjoyed was Geometry.

somehow trig needs extra effort from me, so i hated it.
algebra and calc was never a problem.

Probably Honors ALGII/Trig. It wasn't hard to understand or anything, it had alot of brand new concepts and my teacher was rather anal on tests. Often testing us on pretty foreign things that we hadn't really been taught. I think first symmester I got a C and second I got a B. Pre-Calc and Calc were way easier though.

I went to a magnet school, so we were accelerated in math and had a lot more courses than a normal high school.... the last class I took was Complex Analysis.... pretty difficult when I took it but in retrospect it was just because my teacher sucked
