Elsabrouty is the BEST math prof a student could ask for. He truly knows his stuff and everyone respects him and he respects the students. If you can, take a class with him because he will change the way you look at math. Amazing, phenomenal, and exceptional!!

THE GOD OF INTRODUCTORY COLLEGE CALCULUS! Guys, if you enroll in MATH-275, be sure to take it up with him. Many of the concepts of calculus that I learned in high-school were not that clear. But, enter Dr. Elsabrouty and Calculus became one of my strongest subjects. Although, do attend all his classes as he doesn't post his notes online.

Comment:

he stopped caring years ago. He doesn't post lecture notes. also Writes too fast so you cant think about his points. #speedwritingdrill. He uses different obscure notation meant to trip us up (got 95 in calc in high school, learned completely different notation). At the very least he is clear, and seems to care when hes done acting cantankerous.

Comment:

Just the sheer amount of content he has in his curriculum and the fact that uses a lot of time writing EVERYTHING down causes him to just show us examples rather than emphasize the process of actually solving the math problems. The good thing is that exams are easy and similar to lecture problems, but we don't really learn anything. good guy though

Comment:

I think he is the most overrated prof in UofC Engg. He somehow turn a math courses into a pure memorization courses(more memorization than bio), which you will forget 99% of the things you learn two weeks after the final. All being said, if you put an afford into taking notes and memorizes them, it should be an easy A.

Comment:

Dr. Elsabrouty is nothing special, it's just the rest of the engg math professors are garbage. He makes good notes, but the tests tend to only cover cheesy tricks he barely mentions, meaning memorization good grade. When you hear people praising him as the "math god" this is why - he turns process oriented math courses into basic memorization.

Provides the most clear ways of solving problems and shows the types of problems you will see in exams. If you go to lectures for the notes and study them then you will be well prepared for all the exams. Elsabrouty is one of the best professors you can get for calculus.

Comment:

I took math 375 in spring. It doesn't even feel like calculus due to the amount of memorization that is required in this course. Our final was written where qs 1-15 were either you get A or F. So what was the point of having written exam if no grade for work is given?

Comment:

Clear and refined lectures, with well organized material. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. The only gripe I have is how the course is graded. Unlike most other classes this class is graded directly against the 4.0 scale meaning an A requires 95% which seems excessive considering we are graded on few things.

As we all already know, Elsabro is most definitely Calc God. Although the notes in this class were fast paced, he communicated effectively and made sure you would understand everything along the way. His notes are all you need to succeed in his courses, especially the WISE reviews for the exams. Do those and his practice exams on D2L and you're gud

Comment:

If you go to all of his lectures, take down all of his notes, and go through the problems in the notes and problems from review sheets that he posts online, then you are good to go for the midterm and final. There are not many graded components to the course. Elsabrouty does write very quickly in lectures, but he also makes sure you understand.
