when does math get really juicy?

I'm in precal and trig, which are nice, but from which topic onwards is thought required? My current classes don't really demand analysis. One could do well by simply learning the rules and acting appropriately. Which math would you say requires development of ideas? thanks!

    Calculus (especially multivariable) requires some thought, but it gets very non-robotic, so to speak, when you start having to do proofs, which you probably won't get into heavily until college/university, but most everything after and including Linear Algebra and Bridge to Abstract Mathematics (or the equivalent) and Geometry is very proof-heavy.

    The proofs are the heaviest.

    Also, text problems, where you have to use logic in deciding WHICH formula to use.

    IF you want REALLY hard - take a look at Physics.

    Trig identities can get tricky

    Laplace transforms and Lhopitalis theorm will wake you up some but maybe not.

    when you get to re-writing the rules or maybe editing them then you may get excited but maybe not.

    Try brain surgery, that should be challenging for you.
