Only resorted to his laptop to write down the example problems he was going to do.  Very hard class but doable. Except the series part which was just hell. Do a lot of the past exams to study and you'll be fine.",

I got a 26 on the first midterm (ave. was 29) and i got a 46 on the second test (ave was 79).  and i got these without studying.  so i studied for the final and pulled off a C in the class.  so its not terribly difficult.  Overall, Lev is a pretty good teacher",

Yes he curves, but it's a brutal curve.  I think roughly 60% of the class has a BC or lower according to my TA.  That's ridiculous. . .",

He likes to use exam problems most people won't solve, but he is very helpful. Take advantage of office hours!!",
