I remember a teacher in ninth grade warning students who up to that point found maths to be easy without studying: that would no longer be the case. From anecdotal memory, I think what happened was a shift from real problems to abstract concepts. Up until then maths problems had been rooted in the real world and could be solved with logic, but suddenly there were graphs and asymptotes and cosines and a bunch of other stuff without a clear connection to their usefulness to the world.
High school teachers didn’t fare better. One of them, when we were learning statistics, said there was no way we’d be able to complete the given homework on our own without a tutor. On the contrary, it was the most enjoyable and approachable maths had been for years. Finally something which connected to the real world again.
In retrospect, I think I had a string of mediocre teachers which sapped my excitement. As an adult I watched two second gif loops which clicked in my head ideas which weren’t made clear by previous explanations.
To answer your question, I’d be interested in analytic geometry and any concepts which would related to computer graphics.
