What is the hardest undergraduate class? Is it real analysis?

Not all schools have the same classes available to undergrads.

Fluid Dynamics

I thought mine was pretty easy. I thought the course I took on the finite element method was a lot harder.

I had a high school math teacher with a phd in fluid dynamics. Is it bad he'd be teaching at a high school? He was also insecure about not being referred to as Dr x over a Mr x

It depends on the person. I have legit seen some aspies get Cs in communications because they couldn't compose themselves enough to speak in front of a class.

I think chemistry did it for me. It was composed of this weird mixture of physics, biology, and chemistry that made absolutely no sense. I didn't know what to study for on the exam because we'd be given 40 pages of fucking reading material and the tests would somehow focus 40 questions on 5 sentences of material, that if we didn't know word for word, was going to fuck us over.

Just a shit syllabus in general, no instructor should ever say "just read the textbook and you won't need test preps or syllabus information."

That same instructor had a <2 star rating on ratemyprofessor.

Any good professor I've ever had just had us call him by his first name.

Harvard Math 55 (The only one real answer)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_55
The Harvard University Department of Mathematics claims that
"This [Math 55] is probably the most difficult undergraduate math class in United States".

Honors Abstract Algebra + Honors Real and Complex Analysis

"Math 55" is only hyped up because it's, well... Harvard.

Also, I know for a fact (from people I know who have taken it) that a good amount of cheating takes place in that class.

What about upper-division math classes at Harvard? Or courses at MIT or Princeton?

>What about upper-division math classes at Harvard?
Everyone drops out after failing Math 55 so there is no need for those

>>9016570
depends on the school, on the professor, and on your own strengths and weaknesses

Only non-meme

Difficulty has to be measured by information density, not what you as an undergraduate consider to be the final boss of your major.
