A great guy, but if your not a math person he's almost too smart. His tests are hard and if you don't understand every aspect of how to solve a problem, including how an equation is derived (unnecessary), then don't expect to succeed on the tests. He's really funny, and very nice, but the grading is extremely picky.Rate My Professors ↗

Took one of the most difficult courses at the school (Multivariable calc) and made it so you can understand it. The best thing about him is the fact he never tries to trick you on exams, basically if you try your hardest you should do fine. A god among men compared to other math professors I've had.Rate My Professors ↗

What a legend. I'm glad I got to take a class with him before he retired.Rate My Professors ↗

He was a pretty easy teacher. His lectures can be boring, and not a lot of material is covered always, but he is a funny guy and is really nice. He's available in his office often for help as well.Rate My Professors ↗

An absolutely great professor. He did a great job of letting you know what you needed to know for exams and the homework was alot like exams. Probably the best math professor I have ever had. It's too bad that he decided to retire because he does a great job of teaching.Rate My Professors ↗
