I pretty much hated most of the math classes I took. My calculus sequence pretty much sucked. Differential equations wasn't so bad because my professor made it entirely about damped/undamped spring-mass systems, which was directly relevant to mechanical engineering.

Linear algebra was probably the most useful course I've taken in college.

After finishing the math sequence it gets better as all your classes are using the math directly applied to your major. In ME the majority of the math I have to use is simple algebra, with some linear algebra and differential equations, along with basic integrals. It's not too bad, but you have to get through the classes to get to that point.
