Excellent class! You can tell he's a really smart guy, but he did a great job of "dumbing it down" for this 1st-year class. Very enthusiastic about his work. Loved the class!

Comment:

I think he's one of the most interesting math prof at SFU. I loved his digression on the history of math. If you hate him, that's because you aren't interested in math enough.

Comment:

Easiest prof ever. Midterms and final were easier than homework (which was also easy). Average on midterms/final should have been much higher! Kind of boring, but a good prof to get an easy A with...
