Pool, if you like the the application of logic as opposed to cold memorization, you should look into proofs and theroms like lkingpinl said. It's a branch of mathematics that's quite different from everything else.
It was the one class that I truly dreaded in college. I would spend more time on the homework in that class than any other by far. It was sort of fun, because I love a good intellectual challenge, but some of that was ridiculous. I remember on the final, our professor put a bonus question for extra credit and by that time it had already taken me 4 hours, I just wrote down, "You've got to be kidding me". He gave me 5 points for making him laugh.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
