    Personally, real analysis has caused me more misery. But, to be fair, it didn’t kill me and has made me stronger :)

    Every Borders has analysis books so it’s clear that analysis is causing far more misery. On the other hand, real analysis might do wonders for cosmetic surgery if injected in the right place.
