Maths :
logic/problem solving demand: 10
knowledge/learning demand: 4

Biology and medicine:
logic/problem solving demand: 1
knowledge/learning demand: 10

Organic Chemistry:
logic/problem solving demand: 9
knowledge/learning demand: 8

Organic chemistry is the most challenging science. Anyone who disagrees hasn't done enough of it to get to organic synthesis.

What do the scores mean?

what the fuck is "knowledge slash learning demand"?

How demanding the subject is in terms of amount of content, knowledge, material, information, etc. you need to learn.

>> No.4010516

This is extremely scientific.

Why would you say that something that requires much more learning, but slightly less intelligence, is more challenging? Anyone can learn. And it's boring.

1. These numbers are quite arbitrary.
2. The numbers could be logarithmic.
3. What if one of the two is far more relevant to difficulty?
4. What if the difficulty is equal to the maximum of the two? Math, 10; Bio, 10; Chemistry, 9.

The tripfag implied that simply learning things was not difficult at all and had no effect on the difficulty of a subject.

something can be demanding in ways other than how much logical problem solving it requires.

he said learning tasks were much less significant than problem solving. not that they made no difference.

However, the main point of my post was
>And it's boring.

At equal problem solving capabilities required, I'd choose a subject with less trivial boring repetitive learning involved for sure, even if it's less challenging.

I mean, I guess OP wants to say that it's more difficult to be a very good Organic Chemist than a very good mathematician? Then ok, but it's even harder to be a very good mathematician that can do pushovers with 1 finger, or a very good mathematician that knows the first 100'000 decimals of pi and e. Does it make it interesting that it's harder? Certainly not. Something isn't interesting just because it's hard to achieve.

Organic chemist here.

It's the most fun of all sciences, but nowhere near the most challenging.

Also, grouping biology and 'medicine' together is fullretard.jpg
