Somewhat. But it's more

Somewhat.

 

But it's more "tedious", than "difficult" and requires a good amount of bookkeeping.

It didn't for me. But I also haven't done anything after Calc or Physics.

To answer the "other" question. Yes. Yes it does get hard...

Math isn't only easy, it's

Math isn't only easy, it's fun!

I used to work with FET and Stress Analysis modeling of various materials used for high performance jets.

Currently, my work involves applying Stokes Equations
in the creation of virtual simulations of air flow dynamics over 9th generation wing designs.

C++ and other new OO languages, such as "F" are the languages I prefer over C# which I've found to be too
slow on dual quads, even with 2G's of Video RAM.

You just made my brain hurt

You just made my brain hurt with all those acronyms. I'll be sending you an aspirin bill in the morning.

I'm a sophomore in high school and I've just started physics this semester, but up to now it's pretty easy shit besides remembering formulas. As far as math goes I haven't been presented with anything challenging since preschool when I understood what numbers were. It's funny, when I was in 2nd grade and it was time for math class, my teacher gave me a 3rd grade math book for me to do assignments with it.

Yes. Some people's brains

Yes. Some people's brains are more wired for it than others. I understand the concepts but I have trouble retaining it.

 I hide from numbers, me and numbers don't mix. essays are where is where my talents are, Don't think iv gotten less than 75% for any essay at university yet. Apossed to maths where I struggled to pass that in matric (grade 12, std 10, 6th form or whatever you call it where ever you live), hit 36% at the end witch was a standard grade pass

Two words: differential equations.

That's a whole world of hurt right there.

I quit pursuing math after

I quit pursuing math after eigenvectors in University. To this day I couldn't tell you (nor do I care) what an Eigenvector is.

As I said at the time, "Eigen easily do without this shit. Eigen graduate, eigen get a job, eigen live a happy life. Someone-else-gen become the expert on eigenvectors."
