Great prof! His teaching was impressive and outstanding! He greatly interested me in complex analysis and differential equations, even though the material isn't very easy.

THIS GUY ROCKS! He is arguably the best professor at Caltech; compare his successor for ACM 95b, Sterl Phinney.

Comment:

Niles does an exemplary job teaching what is traditionally a very hard class. He goes very fast, but has a lot of material to cover so it's understandable. He gives plenty of breaks throughout lecture to make up for it though, and keeps the class lively.
