Comment:
Professor Rosenberg's lectures are extremely boring and can be confusing, as he writes in weird notation and very quickly. His tests usually only focused on one of two topics that you covered. I relied heavily on the textbook.

Comment:
This was an interesting course. Lecture heavy with boring and non-engaging lectures. The weekly problem sets take up a lot of time and are worth 50% of you grade. They were challenging but professor Rosenberg is only looking for a solid effort on them. The papers were a rewarding experience. If you need WR150, and like math, take it!

Comment:
Rosenberg is a good guy, but kind of tough to figure out. He teaches the whole class by writing in somewhat confusing notation on the chalkboard. I found it easiest to learn from the textbook. Homework counts for 30% of your grade so bring any questions to his office hours before handing it in if possible. Class was curved.

Steve's lectures are clear with few mistakes. He likes to challenge you conceptually in class, occasionally on the homeworks but not on the exams. overall fair and easy

this professor is for the student who have a gift for math. since his pace of the class is very fast, you should prepare well before the class. He is very good at discuss hard problem with you. Recommend to take his course.

Comment:
He's an amicable guy. Down to earth. However, you probably will not have time to finish the tests. Sometimes he will introduce a notation not gone over in class. He assumes you've seen it before. Big mistake on my part. Its gonna kill my 4.0. PLEASE AVOID HIM.

awful professor. total lack of clarity. condescending, patronizing. asks questions students can't answer, refuses to discuss answers students offer. trying to show off. monotonous voice. sounds like teacher from charlie brown. no understanding for those not gifted in math. no understanding for students in general. avoid at all costs.

Legit the worst professor I've ever had. Condescending. Won't help students who are struggling even if they show the effort. Shameless self-promotor. Thinks he's funny. Dry, theory-based lectures. No applications. Again, worst professor I've ever had, would strongly advise any and all prospective students to avoid Rosenberg at all costs.

Interesting, hard class. Good teacher with a clear passion for the subject. He's very helpful in office hours, and will even go over the take home tests with you. Still, the material is really hard, and in class he goes really quick and assumes you know things you might not. Recommended overall.

A very painful experience... he made everything a lot harder and confusing than it had to be. I thought I'd experienced dull classes before, but then I took this one. I'm not sure I got anything out of it either...

the worst, maybe its the material covered but after about two weeks into the course all one can do is write down everything on the board and hope the homework isnt related to the material because he explains nothing in a clear way. i would stay away at least from this boring course.

Comment:
emphasis on theorem proofs, but otherwise a regular multivar calc class. I liked him best out of all the honors math prof, but I hear devaney is great. key is lecture notes. if you're looking to Ace, some concepts from lecture is crucial.

This honors Multivatriate calculus course puts emphasis on proofs of many theorems introduced. If you aren't mathematically sharp, not a recommendable class
