hahaha, i have to admit it, i had a hard time dealing with these subjects when i'm still a student. let's just say i am inclined with other matters in school, but not with numbers. how about you? i want to hear from others their opinions. personally the easiest from these three is Physics.

I have Algebra, Trigonometry and Physics when I was in High School and my first and second years in College. I must say that Trigonometry is the easiest. Why? Because it only deals with triangles. Everything about triangles. You just have to master the sine, cosine, and tangent. Then the rest is pretty much easy. The second easiest subject is Algebra. Why? Because it is just algebra. It is the foundation of Mathematics. It is just like numbers but with letters on it. The only thing I had a hard time with this subject is the age problems. Physics is the hardest because it needs basic mathematical skills and analyzation.

uh oh. physics is the easy one for me. how could that be? hehe, thanks for your post. :-

We are individuals and we have individualities. Although I find the three subjects you mention easy and exciting some people may find it hard. You find Physics easiest of the three but I find it hardest among the three.

hello there. i really have a hard time with these three subjects that you are mentioning and you know, i really dont find a lesser evil among them. i find them equally difficult. :P lolz.

For me, algebra is the easiest. It's pretty basic stuff, and you have to use it so often in other fields of math that you're bound to get used to it. It's sometimes actually fun finding variables and whatnot.
Trigonometry was the hardest for me. Too much memorization. Physics requires formulas, but they're all available in your reference table; you just need to know when to apply them. With physics, you could also just use your basic logic, since physics is all around us in our daily lives anyway (i.e. waves, the doppler effect, throwing a ball up in the air and noticing gravity's effect on its velocity, so on). It's not quite the same with trig; triangles really aren't very important in my life.

yeah trigo's the hard one for me too. and i think they're not that important. you just need to know the basic math and that's it! thanks for posting!

i would find that trigonometry is really easy and so is algebra but that is only at GSCE level i take Physics as an a-level that is quite hard - the newest thing ive learnt is that if you make a person go through a door fast enough you make a person diffract (split up) WOW this things you can learn in school. ;)

haha, you're talking physics too. its like impossible huh? but i like physicsbecause of these unbelievable things. you gotta calculate every move you make haha. thanks!

I'd say trig. Although, it would be hard to do trig without knowing some algebra. I got like 99.7% in trig way back when I took it. Loved trig. I don't like physics. Algebra is okay. Not the most exciting subject, but I don't mind it so much. I like tutoring people in algebra most out of all three subjects (although, I've never had to tutor anyone in physics).

My best subjects in school were English and Algebra. Algebra was the easiest for me bc it seemed so simple. There was only one right answer and you'd know if you didn't get it. Trig was second, then Physics. None were overly difficult, but I always had to map out diagrams and whatnot when I was studying Physics. Made things much simpler. I'm sooo glad I don't have to do that anymore though!
