Which indicates it is roughly as hard as partial differential equations, the theory of relativity and just a tiny bit easier than some of the quantum mechanics.

This is pretty unintuitive for a subject, which mostly relies on multiplication and addition.

The dozen or so posts discussing the intuition of the Monty Hall Problem are a case in point.
