Richardson made this class a lot more difficult than it needed to be. The material itself is not hard to understand (as long as you have a basic understanding for calculus), but Prof. Richardson consistently put topics on the test that were irrelevant and not covered in class. His tests are extremely hard and he aims for an average of around 50% to "get a nice bell curve". I ended up getting an A- in the class, but I felt like I had mastered the material better than that grade indicated. Make sure you take advantage of all the freebie points he gives, such as homework. If you can, I would try to take this class with an easier, better rated professor. If not, it's not the end of the world, but be prepared to really work and dedicate a good amount of time to this class.

this professor wasn't on bruinwalk when i took the class. do not DO NOT take him. his averages are around a 30%-40% which he does curve up to an A. however, if you're not amazing at math, you'll end up with a C in the class because you'll look at the problems and not even know where to start because they're so damn complicated and intense. that explains why the curve for a B is at 30%. He has around 7 or so problems on the midterms along with some true/false questions. if you miss the true/false he deducts 2 points. if you care about your gpa. just don't take him. just DONT.
