What type of math do you hate the most? (ex/Algebra, geometry, trig...ect.)

For me, (I've only gotten up to geometry) its geometry. Seems rather pointless and it gets so tedious writing all of the proofs. Plus I hate my teacher(so does everyone).

I just wanted to hear from older people and see if it gets any worse.

Geometry, shapes are stupid >_<.

But, I'm also really good at math...

im a math and science person. but id have to say geometry was my least favorite year, i like algebra more. and pre-calc now is pretty cool

I didn't like Algebra, since my teacher had a baby and I was given a terrible teacher to replace her for four months.

Algebra and Calculus are damn useful, and unfortunately Trig and Geometry are needed for those. Hated Geometry the most though.

meh, as long as you pay attention they're not too hard. i sorta liked gemoetry, because it's neat to see how math governs shapes. then again, i did help myself with a killer app i wrote on my TI-86 to do everyhing with apothems, n-gons, pyramids and prisms with multiple sides and the like.

the only thing in math i hate is when you come across a problem that requires a bunch of ork, but if it's the same process, you can write a program on the calculator they force you to have to do half the work for you.

Statistics. dont take that class. i wasted a year of possibly doing nothing by taking that class. go unscheduled or work experience if you're thinking about taking stats.

If you're looking to pursue a career soley based around mathematics, or close to that, all math classes possible should be taken. I hear stat is pretty pointless myself, but, it's a good class to take.

Geometry is the easiest math class you will ever take. Period. Exclamation point.

I used to hate algebra, but I love it now. I'm currently in Pre-Calculus (the name is misleading, it isn't as much calculus as much as more algebra). I love math, it's way more fun than English or History.

All the Calculus we've done so far is based off derivatives. The only algebra related to that that's taught in Pre-Calc is limits.

so far I'm only up to Geometry but it's okay,not as bad as algebra.Funny thing is I like calcules more than algebra and their so much alike.

Triganometry (sp?) is kinda hard... Not really, but it is at the same time.

I thought I liked Algebra better than geometry when I was in geometry last year, now I have algebra two, and its kicking my ass, but maybe thats because I have mono... Anyways I found Algebra easy and geometry pretty easy besides having to study crap, which I never do. So they're both easy but geometry is easier for the people who like to study.

I'm dumb at maths in general so it's all the same for me .

I hate geomtry. Way to many postulates, theorems, and formulas to memorize DX<.

I hate ALL math...

Yeah, I'm pretty good at math. I think my teacher is crap at teaching. She doesn't "teach" she's more like "belive me or I KILL YOU" but not to that extent.

BTW, can you use angle angle side(not angle side angle) to prove congruentness in triangles?

I believe so.

If it can prove congruent ness, my teacher is officaly the biggest retard ever.

Angle-angle-side works, also known as the AAS theorem for triangle congruency. Because if you know 2 angles you invariably know the other angle since the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180, thus AAS is basically the same as the AAA (angle-angle-angle) theorem.

For me I hated geometry the most(seems to be a trend). I'm in pre-calc trig right now, but oddly I find trig interesting whereas geometry is a bore. Here's a little problem to see if you can solve.

Determine a function f such that f(1/x)+2f(x)=x for all nonzero real values of x.
