Fall 2023 - Best, most dedicated math professor I've seen from UCLA. I hated taking math classes but I felt fine in this class and actually looked forward to it. His lectures are so clear and never makes you feel dumb for asking questions. His office hours were very helpful, and they could get pretty packed but he really spends time on the questions you ask. Exams were reflective of class content, just make sure you can understand homework and practice questions.
