I absolutely love Godel's proof. Feel free to imagine the umlaut. :P

Proofs in geometry aren't that bad. You just have to remember all the theorums.
That statement is extremely contradictory. "Just"?

Self-snip, didn't look at the last date.

I love algebra (the kind that deals with group and ring theory) and linear algebra. I'm not really a huge fan of too technical math, like complicated vector calculus. Which may be a bit of a problem, considering that I'm studying physics. Oh well, at least it means that I'm awesome at quantum mechanics, even if I'm...less awesome at electrodynamics. So yeah, I prefer proofs to computations in general. Sometimes a good old fashioned calculus proof, with plenty of infinite sums and so on, can be a bit of fun too though. But I generally prefer the simple elegance of algebra and some linear algebra. That's the thing about linear algebra, as long as it's theoretical it's elegant and beautiful, as soon as you have to compute using actual matrices...it's not. Also telling anyone to do matrix computations by hand, on matrices bigger than 3x3 is just plain sadistic.
