Really hard statistical math. At least, I thought it was hard. It was required for business majors at the college I went to. I think I got a B in that course.

Nothing like one problem taking three notebook pages to work out. :dead:

Wow, so you do know what I do for a living. Ok, not all the time, but it's a big part of my job. :dead: Why yes, I do hate it. Thank you for asking.

I actually liked my Stat classes.
Null hypothesis, t-test, Chi-squared, blablabla... You can use Stats to prove anything a certain % of the time.

The worst part is that my boss is one of those old-timer technophobes that has me do all the regressions on paper to double check the software.

I can feel your pain on that one. I am a mech eng. and have to present all my calcs to the company's insurance rep. for review. Can be up to 200 pg. worth. Once a year we have to do it all by hand to prove our software as well. Blaa.
