Fall 2012

Professor: W Stephen Wilson

(4.33)

The best aspects of this course included the chal enging course material, the accessible professor and teaching assistant and the lack of class exams. The worst aspects of the course included the tough and excessive homework assignments, as well as the abstract and limited teaching available for the difficult subjects. The course could improve if the professor provided more teachings and explanations on the material. Prospective students should be familiar with proofs and theories before entering into this

Students broadly praised this smal class which had students working on group projects and al owed individual students to work on projects on the board. Some students thought the class suffered from a lack of structure, while others found the course had a “steep learning curve.” Suggestions for improvement included having the instructor further explain information in their textbooks by going over topics during class. Prospective students should know that students found the course chal enging and found that they needed to learn how to write proofs.

Fall 2014

Professor: Steven Zucker

(3.0)

Students appreciated the intellectual chal enge of this course. In addition, students expressed that the course has a large load of homework. They also thought that the course could be improved if the instructor went into greater depth and explained concepts in more detail at times. Students warned that people taking this course should be prepared to complete a great deal of homework and should already have a strong background and interest in mathematics.

The best aspect of the course was the chal enging subject material. The worst aspects of the course included the heavy workload and the seemingly independent nature of the course as many students found themselves learning the material on their own. The professor casual y taught the concepts and told students they should be more motivated to learn the content on their own. The course would improve if the professor spent time going over the material in-depth. Prospective students should know they wil be graded on homework assignments and quizzes so they should ensure they spend lots of time with the homework, which wil in turn help them perform wel on the quizzes.

Spring 2015

Professor: Giovanni Di Matteo

(3.5)

The best part about this class was that the professor ensured al his students understood the concepts being taught, and provided thorough explanations and meticulous lecture notes. Students agreed that the material was very interesting, and that they enjoyed working with proofs. Some students felt that too much time was spent on easy proofs, and that the class moved too slowly in general. Suggestions for improvement included covering more topics throughout the semester, and stating prerequisites more clearly. Prospective students may benefit from having a foundational understanding of Linear Algebra.
