Comment:

The worst professor ever. Using really complicated solving every single question. Don't understand anything from the class. Learn everything by myself after the class by reading textbook. Useless.

Comment:

He is a really nice professor, he answered questions before, during and after class (even via e-mail) for those who needed help. Except his teaching method and the way he does his problems is confusing. I basically taught myself the material. 3 quizzes (lowest grade dropped) + final. I wouldn't take him again....

Comment:

Extremely smart guy, though not the greatest at teaching since he proceeds at his own pace (very fast). But he's clear, fair and answers any questions have during class. Sadly he's leaving for Colombia University, gonna miss this guy!

His exams are very straight forward. he even gives review sheets. Make friends, study! If you want an A+ read the chapter and take notes before class.

Comment:

Math 346 is a pretty easy course. Prof. Brown's class is boring but he gives review sheets for exams and it is very helpful! His exams are pretty easy too. He lets you choose 3 out of 5-7. He also drops the lowest test grade out of 3. Very nice professor

Comment:

The main thrust of the course matter is the coordinate free, linear algebraic characterization of the F test and its offshoots in terms of projections on subspaces. The abstract discussion of the F test was then anchored in a somewhat more concrete exposition of linear models under the Gauss-Markoff setup with design matrices of full rank.

Comment:

He's really nice. Kinda boring but that's because i hate probability myself. And i was worried about what someone said about him getting in the 90s on all 3 tests and getting a C as a final grade. That's false. I got an A. Was worried for nothing.

Comment:

Horrible professor. Only goes over examples that are in the book. Not helpful. Talks to the board, looks at the ceiling. Never makes eye contact. Horrible teacher. Tests are fair. Not enthusiastic about math. Very strange man. He's very boring as well. Didn't like his teaching methods at all. Has no teaching skills.

Most boring class ive ever taken. He tries his best to clarify things but does a horrible job at doing so. He is a mathematician NOT a professor so explains a lot. Easy A.

3 test and a final exam. The 3 tests are worth 60% and the final exam is worth 40%. He gives out PLENTY of practice exams and review sheets. Tests are almost identical in style as the tests/final. Take Mark Brown!

Comment:

this guy is the best calc 2 prof there is in ccny. He gives you three exams, drops the lowest. Gives you 9-12 questions and you choose only 4 to do (25 pts each).Cant get better than this. Those who said got 90s on exams and got D probably got a 0 on the final. CCNY needs a man like him. Trust me. He says he doesnt curve but in the end he does:)

Comment:

Not a bad professor, but below average maybe. He gives great review sheets, the exam questions are very similar, so you have no excuse not to get a good grade on any of his tests. The class was not fun, but at least it was easy. Not as theoretical as I expected, just dry computations

Comment:

Horrible! He gives 3 tests and drops the lowest grade and then the final. I got grades all in the 90s and either screwed the final horribly or hes an A-hole cause I got a D. Im going to fight the grade. Only good thing is that he pretty much gives you the test before hand to study from just changes the numbers.
