Meh, not so much. Helps with making approximations and linearizing non-linear functions around a point, but it's not as impressive as the Fourier series and transform.

To each his own. My favorite actually is the fundamental theorem of finite abelian groups.

Actually, I'm also a huge fan of Complex Residues. Very sexy.

Ideas and Ideologies - sick politics class with an awesome teacher. Constantly destroys my hope in humanity and government, but it's really interesting.

anything psych related, and modern history was pretty fun, we also have a rock climbing class but the wait list is something around 1 year so I haven't gotten in yet :( but it sounds like its going to be a blast.

And those are evaluated using a Taylor Expansion. lol.

Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis have been my favorite math classes. Web design/graphic design classes could be fun, but I haven't taken any yet so I don't have hands-on experience.

One of my english classes was really fun. I generally don't like english too, but there was a lot of good discussions and analyzation. Plus the professor was really cute(she looks like the mute girl from kung fu hustle) :)

I liked Advanced Engine Control Systems... Automatic Drive Trains was fun too. Finally got to see exactly how an automatic transmission worked.

Haven't had many classes but from 1 semester I will pick my Computer Science Intro class. The teacher's cool and studying hard actually pays off.

Ceramics.

When the revolution comes I'm moving to the countryside and making pots for the rest of my days.

I will have to say Advanced Data Structures. It was a fun class and it wasn't that hard. The Projects were awesome (Had to do the Battleship game ....I got to play with AI) and I learned a lot about computer science. The second funnest have to be Karate ( I took it my freshman year) I got my ass kicked and got to kick some ass too :D
I had an intro to speech that was fun too ( the whole class got to know each other by the end of the class...I still have some friends from that class). Calculus 2, the professor was good but boring as hell, the people in the class made up for it though. There was this hot chick that would always sit next to me and we'd alway talk (lost her phone number :( ) ahh....the joys of freshman year....

Regards

QFT. I had a similar experience in Industrial organization, except my teacher was a hippy luddite but he was very inspirational. he made sense out of almost anything!

Also my microeconmics teacher was a blast. Foul mouthed drunken hard ass, but damn he was a good teacher.

Damn, some *hardcore* geeks here.

Mine was wine-tasting with the wonderful Morton Tavel. A physics professor with a wonderful inclination towards wine.

Probability Theory is a fun class, make sure it is Calculus based probability theory.
