[MATH V1108] Honors Math II

If you are a (prospective) math major, or just a lover of math, you NEED to take a class with robert friedman. if not, run far, far away! as a fellow number geek, robert friedman rocks my mathematical world. his lectures are engaging and interesting...he goes at a very fast pace, but thoroughly covers the material. he is a fair grader and his exams are straightforward and almost predicatable. if you put a lot of effort into completing and really understanding the homework, you should easily do well on the exams/in the course, since generally the homework is much more difficult than the exams. highly knowledgeable and somewhat quirky, friedman is an excellent prof. although, i would advise any one who is not a math major/who has no interest in mathematics to avoid friedman at all costs.

Maybe it was just for this class, but really not that hard a prof. Talks to himself though---not engaged in the class at all. He randomly recalls a Vietnamese song or poem and sings it to the class and translates it. Despite only 4 people showing up to class regularly he would start exactly on time even if only one person was there. If people slept in class he pretended not to notice. Kind of a space cadet. I don't really recommend him, though he seems to have a good rep.
