linear algebra fscked me up good. So I guess algebra.

I love linear algebra. Absolutely love it. Wish I could find a game programming job somewhere b/c they use all sorts of it in there ;0 That being said....Topology really took me over the edge. And Difficult---no----but the class I struggled the most in was Discrete Math because that had to be the most boring 2 hours a week I've ever endured in my life. I'd rather have banged myhead on the wall for an hour a day.Originally posted by: yoda291 linear algebra fscked me up good. So I guess algebra.

Huh, you msut be the opposite of me cause I think the identites are what make trig hard. I could never remember them... there's like 1,000,000 of them.
The class I'm taking now is Calc 2. I don't find any of the calculus itself particularly difficult, until it requires trig. I suck at trig substitution. I don't know the derivative of sec^3x. I don't know the values for sin, cos and tan from 0 - 2pi in pi/6 and pi/4 increments. I jsut can't remember all those things. I'm not allowed to use calculators or notecards in my class.Originally posted by: jumpr

It's all about writing a program for your TI-83 with the trig identities in it. Geek cheat.
Also, my teacher would OCCASIONALLY let us have a notecard. That was sweet.
