All pretty cool for 2U maybe except the tediousness of finance or the weird wording of some questions, whatever topic, as someone pointed out

Hate: geometry, simularity proofs etc
Love (well, like): probability, calculus,
Trig is rewarding but I screw it up too much to really enjoy it

Favourite 2 unit - I don't really have a favourite. I like finding stationary points, but I'm not sure if I'd call it a favourite.
Most Hated 2 unit - Locus and the Parabola. I know it's easy, but I just don't like it.

Favourite 3 unit - Induction :biggrin:
Most Hated 3 unit - Permutations and Combinations :evilfire:
