Information Science, hands down. There is nothing more difficult. Read all these books and learn how to build a multi national corporate network with all the security trimmings and bells and whistles. I dont care how smart you are and what you think you know. This is what separates the men from the boys

Within my field of expertise: Quantitative Physiology
It just had a crapton of memorization with math on top of it, and very limited time on exams.
Outside my field of expertise: Data Structures
This was difficult because I took the course without knowing C++, and I only had limited highschool experience in programming.

In my studies, which was a bachelors in mechanical engineering and a masters in electrical engineering, it was hard to tell what was a difficult subject and what classes just had tough professors.
My most confusing course was mechanical vibrations because the professor was so scatterbrained and my hardest was adaptive control because the professor was a hardass.

Maths of course. When you enter in the master degree and you start to work on manifolds, functionnal analysis and advanced probas (I m talking about rigorous proofs) everything is difficult. The undergrad is a piece of cake in comparison.

When I first started studying Riemannian geometry I hadn't studied the theory of curves and surfaces in $\mathbb{R^3}$ very well, nor had I studied topology or manifold theory, so it was kind of difficult.
Once I hade read up on topology, basic differential geometry, and skimmed a book on manifolds it wasn't to bad though.

Real analysis I was the most difficult course I took in college. I took it in my senior spring semester and I was used to a method of studying for my physics courses which didn't cut it for real analysis which required a much deeper understanding in order to replicate the proofs required for the tests. I kind of just jumped into it as my only 4000-level pure math course and maybe I just didn't know how to study for advanced math classes.

The hardest class I took in physics was X-ray crystallography. It was the most complicated physics I did in course work. It gave me a great appreciation for the work of Watson backing out the shape of DNA from some x-ray plates. That computation would have been very difficult to make by hand, as he did.

Also, while I agree that Franklin is due much credit for being the person operating the x-ray device when it took the pictures Watson used, the scale of Watson's scientific contribution in the matter far surpasses hers. It is pretty much incomparable. I think Crick had some nice part in it the computation too, I forget the details.

For something a little bit different, the hardest subject I have ever studied was animal husbandry.
Quantum calculus and theoretical organic engineering are all harder but you expect that.
What I didn't expect was just how insanely much you need to know in order to raise livestock.
And obviously I don't just mean buying baby pig and giving it feed and paying somebody to do everything along the way I am talking about the entire vertical operation where you need to know all about the genius of the various breeds, the species of grasses available to you, local weather patterns, etc.
It was an overwhelming amount of information.
