I reckon integration is the easiest one to screw up: I'm the type that would make mistakes such as the integral of 1/(5x) = ln(5x) + C. Stupid things like that.

Probability is ok as long as you know wot's actually happening. People find it hard because they don't.

By far the hardest topic is Permutations & Combinations (esp. when they have stupid conditions like a man must sit next to a certin woman etc.). Other topics I don't really like are The Bionomial Theorem, and Circle Geometry. My favourite is further calculus (rates of change, SHM, projectiles) and I also like inverse trig & plain trigonometry (sin2x etc).

Permutations and Combinations are the best part of maths. It's the part where you can be elegant and find the shortest way to do each problem...

IMO, the hardest topic has to be simple harmonic motion (not really a topic but u know what i mean)

Perms and combs in a biatch of a sub too =(

Yea, that would be right Poker.

I'd say Circle Geometry.
