    My favourite is calculus, complex algebra, manipulation of equations/formula. I hated statistics, and optimisation though. I helped my cousin with maths problems this evening and loved it! I finished doing maths a while ago, but would love to be doing some maths now, have a craving...Jesus I sound like a nerd :o but a proud nerd :P

    Complex Conjugation!

    And, Multiplication, of course.

    Groups, too! whether indoors or in Fields, I don't mind. ;)

    I'm only at leaving cert level, so I haven't been exposed to anything too serious yet. But calculus is brilliant! I love how so many simple ideas work together :-) it's smart - kudos to Newton (and/or Leibniz :p)
