Comment:
I actually understood the material. My advice is to do the homeworks he assigns and attend the review class because the questions are basically the same. He gave 3 test and a final which was not that difficult, but there were a few surprises.

Very interesting class, well presented. He's a bit stern and is demanding of his students, required a paper and presentation as part of the grade.

Comment:
He's vauge about what he expects and grades with no mercy on exams. However his final grade is curved somewhat. For this class all you have to do is memorize (word for word) the correct proof and reproduce it on the exam. His tests are fair and the material is really interesting.

Comment:
He's an ok teacher. I find myself falling asleep through his class, but he's an easy grader. I wasn't doing too well in the last two exams, but I probably did well on the final and he gave me an A. He seems like a smart prof, but his teaching method is still questionable.

Comment:
He may be a bit dry sometimes, but he is knowlegable and reasonable, and as long as you do your work you should be fine. As mentioned, in his class we used Mathematica in the computer lab, which made some of the material more tangible and understandable.

His class is boring and he talks to the blackboard. Since the whole class was was doing really horrible, he gave big curve and that was nice.

Very good professor. One of the only math professors in the department I had who teaches math well and is technologically advanced (use a commputer). Yeah Cowen!!
