I enjoy calculus and algebra. I think they are the most challenging forms of math out there.

I'm not an expert on Boolean Algebra however. :(

What forms do you like?

Algebra is definitely my favorite because I'm really good at it.
I suck dick at geometry, though :/

I like multiplication for I am very quick at doing it in my head. I also favor long division and basic algebra, such as solving equations for y.

Calculus requires you to think a lot. Most forms of business math derives from calculus.

I did Masonry, and minor carpentry, so I guess im best with geometry, and fractions, though Im bad at all math in general

Arithmetic is the most complicated and most enlightening in my humble opinion.

You'll change your mind if you start to linear algebraic systems, and matrices... ugh. Calculus ftw by far.

Geometry, cuz I can figure stuff out with logic, but I'm absolutely terrible if there are a lot of actual numbers involved.

Not really. I did a course on Business Administration and although the math course was advanced, it never even touched on calculus. Perhaps if I'd branched into accounting with it it'd touch on it, but the literal course didn't have a thing regarding calculus.

I know for a fact acturaries and engineers depend on calculus.

What about profit functions? Those stem from calculus.

My favorite sections of math are probably Calculus and Algebra...

My favorite specific sections would probably have to be factoring, using the chain rule, and dimensional analysis (even though that's more science-based)


Thanks to fahrenheit for the awesome sig :D

Ive done alot of Masonry/Carpentry work, so, geometry is my strongest subject math wise, but i like algebra, not really because its very applicable everyday, but because of all the dumb little processes that if you know, youll get it, and if not youll look stupid, but most of it is memorization of tasks pretaining to the math, and not the abstractness of the math itself [ if you know what im trying to say ]

And I thought Newgrounds was nerdy!

You guys disappoint me.

My favorite 'forms of math' are under the calculus spectrum. I enjoyed doing integral transforms into the frequency domain, as well as functions of a complex variable. They were quite difficult, but I really like how simple the Cauchy Integral formula makes computing closed path integrals.

They're all basically 0 or a multiple of 2Pi(i).
