Comment:

EXCELLENT teacher. HANDS DOWN the BEST math teacher I've EVER had. I HATED math with a deep rooted hatred, but this man made it bearable. Lots of homework, but the TAs go over everything. Highly rec'd to get rid of your math req. I would take another math course if he was behind it. Great great teacher. Oh, NO MEMORIZING FORMULAS! A++++

Great guy, great class! I am horrible at math but you can tell that he wants you to succeed, and that really helped my attitude, and as a result, my grades. Great responsiveness to email and always willing to hang around after class and answer questions.
