Final year Mathematics Modules - most difficult?

    I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on which final year mathematics degree modules were generally considered the more difficult?

    Or, alternatively, which were generally considered the least difficult?

    Thank you! :D

    Which college?

    Even with a course description, it would be difficult to say. Any of those courses could me made arbitrarily hard or easy.

    Mathematical Investigations sounds like great fun. Can't imagine it being too difficult.

    Dynamical systems is easy enough, as is set theory, statistical dat mining doesnt sound like anything more than econometrics which is not hard at all.

    Wait, this isn't from a real degree is it? None (or very few) of these should be final year subjects.
