Not taking math courses any more (hooray!) but I mostly use basic calculus for regression models and hypothesis testing. Still hate hypothesis tests, though. I hated them when I was in university and I hate them now. And yes, I realize that's more stats than math, but hey.
Terminale S math, which includes statistics, probabilities, differential equations, limits and derivatives, exponential/logarithm function, complex numbers, calculus, scalar product in space, geometry in space, and loads of other crap.
I'm not taking any math courses... I need one more class to finish my math minor (Partial Differential Equations), but I'm saving that for my senior year. I'm teaching a calculus class, though, so I guess that counts?
Am not good at maths , Currently taking General Standard Grade maths. Next year in 5th year am dropping it and going to try and focus on subjects such as history and computing what am good at. Might take intermediate 1 p.e or intermediate 2 if i can get in it , Since i want to join the police. Or i can just start to cycle more and go to the gym again.
At the moment I'm finishing up the Analysis in R^n sequence (right now we're doing multivariable integration, which I've already done so yeah >_>). Next quarter I'm taking a statistics course.
Calculus and math proofs, two classes that are making me hate like and uni in general.Blitz_Nemesis
What do you find difficult about calculus? I guess I'm one of the lucky ones in that I math comes naturally... so I just don't understand what gives people so much trouble in classes like calc. I'm not trying to talk down to you, I just really wanna know what in particular is hard. I teach a calc help class and I don't want to ask my students directly, it might seem mean.. :(

I used to hate math because i could never get it but that was because i slacked off and put no effort into learning it and since it builds year by year you're effectively screwed if you do this. But i changed in precalc and tried and found math to be pretty straightforward, not only that but *gasp* fun. It just clicks.
Screw math. I got AP credit for Statistics and took a Philosophy-based math class to fill my requirement. But if I continue as Biology major, I will have to take Calculus and all that....bleh.
