At the undergrad level, I would say P-chem. The professor knew how to make it a quite demanding course.
hmm...out of curiosity, you're not taking it at Rutgers Engineering, are you? Just asking, because with a nick like "brunswickite" (and given the fact that rutgers is in new brunswick...)
Calculus II, and I got an A in the class (go figure). But everything else is easy in comparison. Of course I am a lowly business major 
Actually, come to think of it, I think my syster had all of us beat. She was majoring in German and taking a Russian class for the heck of it (which would normally be no big deal) except that the instructor was an exchange professor from China and spoke about two words of English. Imagine learning Russian (when you've already had a year of it) with a very heavy Chinese accent. Even another student (who spoke Russian natively) was having a rough time!

Bah. Organic is nothing compared to Physical Chemistry. I had to take a year of that for my major and it nearly killed me. :disgust:
Not so much fun when you've never programmed in the language before. Computer science dept here changed it's courses from C to java, and this class was in the computer engineering department and they still assumed we knew how to use pointers in C(from the earlier CS classes), which half of the class had never heard of.
Yeah, pchem is worse. But you don't have to take pchem unless you are a chem major. I need orgo for a bio major, even though I hate chem and want nothing to do with it. If you can't handle pchem, what are you doing as a chem major?

Matlab is King!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember having to write programs in FORTRAN that are built into Matlab, like a Gaussian Elimination program and curve fitting and such. FORTRAN sucks, and they make all the aerospace engineers take it here.
Mmmmm, Matlab
Computational Theory and Finite Automata
Took it at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs from Professor Pinson. That guy was such a hard ass on the day of finals, he left after 1.5 hours even though normally finals are 3 hours. Kids that were still their taking the final were told, too late, see ya!

Close enough, all you freaks working with things you can't see without extra equipment. No thanks, I'll be out in the field while you guys are stuck in a lab all day
Agreed. I think Series is probably the hardest part about calculus. It's very interesting, but damn hard.

Eh, I don't think so. Not unless you're talking about generating series in the complex domain. Series is pretty easy to master after you memorize all the different tests. Its not too difficult to understand. I found the most difficult part of calculus to be the theorems of vector calculus. Althought my class wasn't too tough, the problems that COULD be made to be solved using the theorems could be very difficult
Heh, Calculus 2 Sequences and Series kicked mine. Altho calculus 3 triple integrals wasn't much fun either, of course it didn't help that if anyone asked a question the professor made fun of them and quoted the timeblock where we could take remedial algebra, i hated that woman.

High school: AP Government
Undergrad: Organic chem or our senior Plant Safety course
Grad: Graduate Transport or graduate Molecular Thermodynamics
As a grad student, I took a course in Non-linear dynamics and pattern forming. The course was just a seminar, so there was no work or exams involved. Had there been, it would have the hardest course I've ever taken.
I'm a chemical engineer working towards my PhD, btw.
