MATH 561
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
I liked what he was trying to do. He was thoughtful. He chose a readable text, assigned interesting problems from it (many routine), and then complemented the material in lecture - the lectures added to the text, not simply reproduced it. They added to it by connecting topics from calc 3 with differential geometry or proving different facts.

AMAZING professor to take if you learn from the book like I do. It was a match made in heaven, i never went to class, only read the book and was 100% prepared.....quite the obvious if you cant learn from a book and especially if you dont have a good TA.
