Just about anything I've tried to learn in the past 5 years. I get really excited about a project, start reading,, planning, learning it inevitably stalls for a dumb reason, I rapidly lose interest, and the later get excited again but have to go bacl and remember everything. Repeat.
Probability theory. Multiple books/courses/videos and I still have problems with recalling basic formulas or solving fairly easy problems. I find it weird because I don't have the same problem with other branches of math.
I've had the same problem since I was a teenager! I'm great at all other types of maths, pick everything up really quickly.
I've always thought it's because much of it is counter-intuitive, and so it doesn't work with my brain doing it's normal 'jump 3 steps ahead, yeah, yeah, I get it, get on with it' thing.
Everything. Most of my work is touch and go, and I'm constantly having to switch contexts and technologies. I just try to bookmark what I think is important and take notes when necessary.
Calculus. The basics and ways of thinking stick quite well, but specific execution of some algorithms escape my head as soon as I don't use them anymore. I guess that's just the way learning at uni works though
