I took Math 33A with Professor Laub. Professor Laub has a very unique way of teaching where he tries to train his students into a certain perspective when looking at linear algebra. If you pay attention to what he's saying in class, instead of skipping class or taking down notes without understanding it, you will be able to appreciate his methods. His exams are a breeze (almost exactly the same as the practice ones) so if you prepared for it there shouldn't be a problem.

One of my better UCLA professors. I took estimation theory from him in 1971. Kung was also my thesis advisor. I worked full time at Hughes Aircraft in El Segundo where he was a part-time consultant. Thesis which I submitted in the autumn of 1972 was "a numerical study of minimum probability of error expression in a digital communication system with intersymbol interference". In it, I used APL, a programming language which featured concise code for array manipulation, which later on I performed in C/C++ and C#. (I still program with C#, but I left C in the 20th century.) I was stuck at one point and finally figured out what the problem was while I was watching "Godfather" in Westwood Village. Afterward, I walked up to the Medical Center where there was a room full of IBM Selectric typewriters modified for use with an IBM mainframe in the Boelter Hall Math Annex. I made modifications to my software which worked... and voila! I was over the hump and submitted my thesis way before the deadline. I owed it all to the piano rift performed by Carmine Coppola in "The Godfather". (I don't remember the course numbers from '72. They were upper division and grad level courses. I checked EE599 just to fill in the required field.)
