Differential Geometry 1
That course really pushed me to my limit.
Every riemannian structure was introduced via vectorbundles in the most abstract way you can teach the subject. It was really beautiful in a way but since all you do for the first 2/3 of the course is define things and now you were doing that in a very abstract and time consuming way everything turned into a clusterfuck.
almost any lemma/theorem that came up we had no time to prove in class so you had no way to get an intuition for the objects you had defined.
The prof then instead decided to make them problems on the weekly exercises that inevitably now took about 20 hours to complete and the solutions were also about 20 pages long .
I was in my 5th semester back then and that course was the first that felt like it took my mathematical viginity even though it was mostly unconsentual.
But it was also propably my proudest archivement in undergrad to be the only one in the class to ace the oral exam.

I like Periodic Videos, but it doesn't teach you jack shit about chemistry. Numberphile at least introduces you to some concepts in math.
