Your fav area of maths?

Just curious what everyone's favorite area of maths is.

Mine so far is prob linear algebra I reckon. Love matrices and simultaneous equations and stuff like that

I'm starting Maths Science in UL in Sept and delighted to be doing liner algebra 1st semester.

Yeah yeah :P

Believe it or not, in my everyday life I get more mileage from Trigonometry than any other area. For example, in a thread on AH I used it to do a quick calculation for how fast we're revolving around the Earth's axis. On the Equator it's around 1670 km/h, here in Ireland it's around 1670 Cos(53°) = 1000 km/h. :cool:

I am never forget the day I am given first original paper to write. It
was on Analytic and Algebraic Topology of Locally Euclidean Metrization
of Infinitely Differentiable Riemannian Manifold.

Mathematics truely is beautful. Complex analysis is my favourite area.

TheBody is obviously a man* of class. I do like Complex Anaylsis. Linear Algebra is also quite nice. And I have a feeling Functional Anaylsis would be quite interesting if I knew it. Same with Calculus of Variations.

Thank you Michael. I recall us having a great conversation about the differentiability of complex functions some time ago (maybe a year ago). I'm trying to teach myself a bit about Riemann surfaces these days. Hard to find the time though.

Simple but delicious. Sequences and series. Especially the delightful Fibonacci. I still remember encountering this in school and my eyes opening to the beauty of maths.

All the biological links. All the algorithms based on it I bumped into in college. It's presence in music and pop culture. Just a lovely simple sequence that describes so much.

LOL, I've been working at third level for just over 10 years and after all these years, I still hate sequeces and series!! I hate teaching it. I hate doing problems involving them. I hate everything about them!!

Mad how opinions differ!!
