For me it was definitaly German, I absolutely hate that language! (No offense to any germans here)

In the Netherlands you need to take 2/3 years of German, so that sucked for me.

So what subject did/do you hate the most?

Math. I hate math. You really don't need any math beyond what you learn in middle school, but they still make you learn more of it.

If you are going to work in construction then you had better be good the fractions and additon. If you want to be a professional pool player or better than average math is necessary for calculating bank shots. If want to win the world series of poker then statistics and percentages had better be your game. Office workers are constantly analyzing data and creating spread sheets with formulas. Or if you just plain want to survive you had better understand at least basic math for your change when purchasing, understanding interest rates for credit cards or home, and balancing your check book. What is match used for....everything.

Yes, I understand the need for basic and intermediate math. What I don't get is why I need to learn advanced math.

Because most people still don't know what they want to be when they grow up in high school. Plus things like knowing how to calculate percentages etc. can come in handy for a lot of professions.

don't you just need Algebra and trig to graduate high school?  that's not really advanced math.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Then enlighten me.

I had in several occasions needed to solve polynomials of different degrees that represented real life situations I encountered. Matrices do come in handy at times. Geometry, volumes, areas...etc are things you can frequently need when solving some everyday issues. Subjects like statistics, probability, regression, scatter...etc can be used to the benefit of your personal life like when using excel for various reasons ,for example when dealing with personal finance or to keep track of the progress of certain personal projects you're working on among others. Not to mention that adequate knowledge of math can greatly help you understand and keep up with other sciences you may need in your professional life or be interested in like physics, IT..etc. This is all just the tip of the iceberg.

Speech class. I freaking hate getting in front of a group of peers. The only reason I made it through was because I stayed up really late every night before I had a speech so I was too tired to be nervous.

If you don't want to take calculus, you don't have to. At my high school you only needed three years of math and I think it only went up to trig or something.

Isn't organic chemistry basically a bunch of memorization? I only took chem 102 but we did a little intro to it basically and the teacher said that you'd have to know like 100+ compounds.

I think calculus has an undeserved bad reputation. I'm not really that big into math, but I quite enjoyed calculus and found it to be quite moderate in difficulty.

Partly, it's a lot of memorization of rules/processes/common reactants as well as learning mechanisms of action.  But you need to know why certain things happen and why something is a better reactant/living group/electrophile/etc than something else

Well that's a different story. In college they make you take calculus if it's not helpful for your major to weed out bad students.

Oh I agree. Looking back, even multivariable calculus wasn't hard - just a pain in the ass.

Never liked chemistry. It always confused the hell out of me. I imagine I wouldn't do well at all if I took that class.

I used to hate ancient greek,because they were impossibly hard.It was a very important lesson though.


On the other hand,I loved maths,physics and geography,and towards the last years of school I developed a liking for History.

I actually liked History, Geography kinda sucked though (or maybe I just sucked at it) I wasn't fond of Maths, it bored me (I remember almost falling a asleep a few times, it was that bad)

Everything, I hated school. To be more specific, I'd say Chemistry and Molecular Biology were my worst. Even though I was a Biology major and now work as a chemistry analyst. >__>

To answer the TC, it's math. I'm a terrible math student beyond the basics, and I've never had to use advanced math in my life so I'm glad about that. I realize it's super useful to certain careers but it's not for me and I couldn't be more happy about that.

I'm not so sure anymore, favorite subjects were History, English Literature, and Science.

I was going to say math, but now I'm not so sure I actually hate it. Although I never did like anything that involves giving speeches and writing essays. About the two things I didn't really like doing. or anything that involved forming my own opinion because I never could or just didn't care about the subject
