Favorite field of Math?

Pre-Algebra was my go-to sleep class in seventh and eighth grades as the teacher talked more about his kids than the subject. Algebra 1 wasn’t hard except for the graphing parts; geometry was wayyyyyyy too many proofs and angles and whatnot. And precalc I’m a test and quiz away from flunking :’(

At my high school for my freshman and sophomore year, freshman Honors Alegbra 1 was combined with the first two chapters of the geometry textbook (which we spent the last month or so of school on) and then sophomore Honors Geometry/Algebra 2/Trig covered three-ish years of math in one; geometry went through March so Algebra 2 and trig got crammed into the rest of the year before rushing kids into Honors Precalc or repeating Algebra 2 and Trig.

Thankfully, Honors Algebra 1 and Honors Geometry are totally separate, and there’s now an Honors Algebra 2 and Trig course so if I struggle too much in precalc I can still get an honors-weighted junior year math class. :)

Anyway! Favorite overall has been algebra (both 1 and 2) and I liked trig; yes, trig involves shapes, but at least it’s only triangles and it seems to be more formula-based (but having had only a few weeks of it I wouldn’t know) :P
