Comment:
Garbage teacher. Chalk and board only, no slides which would be okay if he didn't erase and replace what he's writing (which makes it hard to take notes). Examples of concepts are usually poorly done or not done at all.

Comment:
Vijay is an amazing teacher. If you don't understand something, he really wants to know, so he can go over it again in class. His homeworks are extremely reflective of the tests and not difficult if you pay attention in class. Textbook is optional, but a nice supplement.

Difficult material made easier by Vijay's clear teaching style. If you pay attention in class you'll do fine.

Comment:
Tough class regardless of professor. Shanker is a nice guy and tries to make the class a little bit easier. But he's not that great a teacher, so it's still pretty hard. If you remember MATH-210 and go to class you'll do fine.

Boring as all hell! Class isn't too hard, but sitting through his lectures can be painful. No midterm, so final exam is a huge chunk of grade. HWs are long, but very doable.

Comment:
Ben Stein has more personality than this guy. Stares at the class frequently, wtf? Homeworks are not that bad, 2 exams. Don't waste your time in his office hours, unless you want to have a staring contest.

Comment:
Class is inherently quite difficult - and Prof. Shanker does his best to make things easy. However, he doesn't respond well to questions (kind of just stares at you in class) and he really isn't that nice in office hours.
