I never liked math until I took math with mike weiner. He tries to make everything easy for you to understand and is constantly making sure everyone in the class understands the concepts. He also prepares you extremely well for the exams by giving you harder problems so that when you get to the exam everything will seem super easy.

A great professor, what I really liked about him was that he was always willing to help me for any class. I will continue to go to him for help in all my math classes and would 10/10 recommend taking him again. If you have the option to take this man do it.

The best professor I've ever had in college, I've never enjoyed a class so much in my life. He made calculus, a difficult subject in general, so easy to understand and fun!! He was always willing to help during office hours, spending many hours to make sure somebody understood the subject and is prepared for what is ahead!

Only good things to say about Mike. Extremely accessible outside of class. Almost always in his office and willing to let you scribble all over his whiteboard your calc questions! Has phenomenal explanations and makes it easy to understand and get a good grade. Hes very caring and hilarious even though he may not think so. Loved his class!

Great teacher! The math department here is terrible, but he is definitely the best professor for this course. Tries to simplify the material the best he can, but it is still extremely hard if you can take math 110 instead.

Weiner is the best math prof you'll ever have. Somehow manages to describe calculus simply and flawlessly. You'll have the easiest time possible taking calc if it's with Dr. Weiner.

Mike is one of the best professors you will get here. Not only is his explaining of problems superior, but he also knows his stuff too. When he teaches it is almost as if Sir Isaac Newton is speaking the sweet words of calculus through his mouth.

He always has such a positive attitude and is always in a good mood so no matter how much you hate calculus I promise he makes it more bearable. He also really tries to make sure everyone in the class knows what's going on and is so nice about helping you when you don't understand something. His quizzes are also very helpful to study for exams.

Great professor. If you go to class and pay attention, you will do well. Utilize office hours - he has a lot of time for office hours. He bumped my grade up to an A after I worked hard and was constantly in his office for office hours.

It helps to have taken calculus beforehand, but he makes it so simple to understand. You get homework about once or twice a month and quizzes every week. Nothing you can'y handle. Mr. Weiner was a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the math department. Amazing teacher.

He makes calc easy to understand. I don't know how to explain it but the way he teaches works. I am by no means a math guy but I am able to understand the material. He is a very good guy and is always there to help. His lectures, though long, are very informative and his charisma keeps you paying attention.

All I have to say about Dr. Weiner is that he's a great guy and a great prof. Knows his calculus and is willing to help you know it too. Makes the class as easy as possible and helps you... all you have to do is ask him. The class is tough and based on 3 exams, but he does a solid job preparing you for them. If you need higher math, take Weiner!
