Topology is the most abstract class that I have learned in my math career so far . If I have a choice , I would not take it. However, if Dr. Annin teachs topology, I would take it again .

Comment:

Very passionate about math. That being said, his lectures are full of enthusiasm and he'll try to get through all the material. He is very easy to understand and has flexible office hours if you need help. Lots of hw though! Would recommend but beware if you're not good at math or with abstract math, you'll struggle.

Comment:

Amazing professor, but his class is crazy hard. I was a lazy student and always skipped or didn't do homework & failed. He definitely knows his stuff & is very passionate about math which I respect. However, I'm an engineering major & he focused a lot more on the mathematician point of view in this class (all theory). Will be retaking w/ diff proff

Do yourself a favor and do not take if you are an engineering major!!! Too much focus on the theoretical!

The most caring and available professor I've ever had! If you have the option, take this professor! Even though the class is a bit tough, and he does give a lot of homework he is worth taking. He likes to get the know every student and will be more than happy to help you with anything!

Professor Annin is my favorite professor thus far. He is one of the most enthusiastic mathematicians I have ever met. He goes out of his way and takes time from his busy schedule to help any students. If possible, I would take Dr. Annin for all my math courses.

Comment:

I will agree with what others have said: This class is ALOT of work. With that said, I pulled an A in his class while taking a full load of engineering courses (hard, core classes too). So know his class his by no means unfair. This man will make you stoked on math. I absolutely recommend him if you actually enjoy mathematics and good lectures.

Comment:

Dr. Annin is a wonderful person, but because he is so passionate about math (particularly pure math), he will make you work HARD for your grade (very long exams, long hw). I would only recommend if you're into the beauty (rather than the function) of math and don't mind making this class your entire life. You'll be prepared for 307, though.

Comment:

Dr. Annin, by far is one of the best math professors I have ever had. However, be prepared for a long grueling semester of homework assignments and lengthy, difficult exams and quizzes. I would only recommend this class for students who have serious interest in learning and have ALOT of time on their hands.

His lectures are organized and well prepared. There is a lot of homework in his class and the exams are difficult. He is very approachable. He welcomes students to his office hours. He is willing to work with you throughout the course. Overall great teacher. I'd recommend him to anybody who likes a challenge.

Comment:

This is coming from a CE (who would probably never use 250B). Dr. Annin is amazing individual both as a friend and teacher. Tons of office hours. Despite common belief, homework load was actually pretty light for me (personally). Tons of review for tests. Very inspiring and enthusiastic in teaching. I really enjoyed 250B with Dr. Annin <:)

Comment:

Dr. Annin is THE best professor I have ever taken. The material can be difficult at times but Annin puts in as much work as it takes to get you to understand. He is on campus 7 days a week and even though during the semester he has an insane amount if work to do he still makes himself available for help. Homework- one to two a week. And 2 tests.

I've had two classes with Dr. Annin(307/350) and it was such a great experience having him as my professor. He really knows his material and does his best to be there for his students. Take any class with him and you'll be in good hands. He is very inspiring and approachable so take him!

Dr. Annin is amazing, never met anyone so enthusiastic about math ever in my life. The course is tough but he helps you get through it, he hold 2 review sessions prior to a test, and he video tapes them and posts them online if you couldn't make the review session. Overall great guy to talk to and listen to. Could not recommend anyone else.

Awesome Teacher! I never had a teacher so enthusiastic about teaching. His office hours are extensive. He gives extra credit in allowing us to redo problems on harder tests. Math 250B is hard but he helps you get through it. If you study the notes, group work, and homework and ask questions you can pass the class. No intimidation at all from Annin!

IF YOURE AN ENGINEERING MAJOR. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. DOES NOT PREPARE YOU FOR FUTURE CLASSES. MATH 250B IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE FOLLOWING COURSES. LECTURES ARE ALL THEORY AND HW IS ALL APPLICATION.

Annin is amazing. I graduated with my math degree 2 years ago because of him. He is very tough, but he is fair. You will deserve the grade you get. ALWAYS available, very approachable, very very nice man. I wish I could have taken him starting freshman year in high school until I graduated college. :)

Comment:

One of the hardest classes ever, but GREAT professor. Very kind and helpful. Tests are bananas and cumulative. Study all the time and expect this class to massively impact your workload overall (take other easy classes if taking this one). I think it took a year off of my life. If you're a "math person" you'll be fine; disregard comments.
