As an applied math major, this class felt like a breath of fresh air. All straight forward computation and formula application. Levinson was a really good professor who gave very detailed, clear, interesting lectures! He didn’t assign any homework to actually turn in, but posted assignments every week to help prepare for quizzes. The TA, HK, would create super amazingly detailed discussion supplements every week that went through how to solve the assignments and had all the formulas/definitions that were taught that week. I actually only studied the discussion supplements for the exams- they were that comprehensive. The grading was 4 quizzes (lowest dropped), one midterm, and one final. All the math itself was very straight forward, pretty much all arithmetic, the only difficulty was memorizing formulas (for the final we got a cheat sheet tho) and remembering definitions to correctly turn the word problems into calculations. If you’re a math major and want a break from classes that are super theory-heavy/seem to have no numbers, I’d highly recommend!
