Does anyone else find math like trig and calculus dramatically easier to comprehend than stuff like combinatorics?

- nilkn 13y agoCombinatorics has always been easier to comprehend for me, but the problems have always been harder. That's because calculus depends on higher-level concepts but is otherwise rote, whereas combinatorics depends on only the most elementary concepts but the problems quickly become very complex. I think this is why combinatorics features so much more strongly in math competitions than does calculus.
