Algebra, since calculus is sort of a mash-up of everything we've learned in algebra and precalculus, plus a little geometry, and additional touches of calculus concepts.

Algebra is mostly about manipulating equations, after all.

From my viewpoint at the moment, I like Algebra better than Geometry. I didn't do as well in Geometry. :?

Haha, I hated geometry. All those proofs... ugh. :?

I think you'll like calculus, though. It gets hard at times, but it's very rewarding.

Yeah, I'm hoping I'll be like my father. He hated Geometry (as do I), found Algebra okay (as do I), and loved Calculus. :)

I wonder if this is a trend among Asians. :lol:

Just Asians? It isn't a trend among people in general? :lol:

I don't think I asked a lot of people about this, but one person I know said that she found Calculus easier, but never said that she loved it.

ERROR: SAMPLE SIZE TOO NARROW.

Speaking of sampling, you'll find statistics class to be VERY useful.

Actually, there's quite a large amount of Asians where I live. From what I've read once, San Jose has the largest population of Vietnamese people outside of Vietnam. San Francisco is nearby too, and that city has a lot of Chinese people. Maybe I could collect more accurate data then?

Hmm. They are large cities.
My school is predominantly white and conservative. :(

I'm really glad Titangeek isn't on right now. He thinks I look Asian. >_>

They are also on the West Coast, and when Asians move to the U.S., they'll most likely settle in Hawaii or California.

Fun Fact: Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. where caucasians are a minority. :lol:
