I really liked series solutions to ODEs.

You construct the right answer rather than finding one.

What else is good? Biomathematics, number theory of any kind, abstract algebra.

Don't like analysis. Stats, per se, I don't like but could probably tolerate if it was being used to study an interesting question.

i loved elementary number theory last year, hoping to do some analytic number theory soon.

real analysis is pretty awesome once you get into it, quite challenging.

diff equations are pretty boring...

Statistics and Probability for Actuaries.:)

I absolutely fell in love with it and I hope to continue the affair well into the future.
