Math. It was the least effort to success ratio.

Like, history? I’m not reading all that shit, writing paragraphs out for you. Ugh.

Math: all angles of a (euclidian) triangle add to 180. One is 120. One is 30. One is x. What is x? 😎 really? That’s the lesson, just like 45 different ways? Ok. Ez.

Is recess a subject?

Sozialwissenschaften (social sciences/ politics and economics), compared to everything else was non trivial and not tedious content. Math and physics and CS are nice and all but talking about current Events and interpreting them using certain models was always the most fun for me. With the slight downside of having to remember all the nomenclature.

I never would have written a 20+ page homework for any other subject, but for this sowi course I dug myself through the Israeli Arab conflict in as much depth as you need to get a good general overview, and I was having fun doing it.

It helped a lot that I picked the course because I knew which teacher it was going to be held by, and that the teacher was genuinely very good.

High school: Physics or Calculus. Loved Newtonian physics, and I was always good at advanced math (sucked at basic arithmetic for some reason, always got bored and skipped steps)

College: Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, or Fluid Dynamics. Combination of advanced math and physics, always really cool to me. Differential equations was a close fourth.

I liked my moral and ethical philosophy class, up until the professor started evangelizing to us about religion, which kinda ruined it for me

High school? Chemistry. I took it because I had no interest in biology. Turned out to be interesting, so much so that I took Chem II even though it wasn’t required to graduate.

Chem II was the hardest math class in high school. I loved it.

College? Computer Organization. It’s about how computers work down at the circuitry level. All the programming was in assembly. Easily the hardest class I took in college.

I don’t know why the hard classes were always my favorites.
