Professor

Most Helpful Review
Fall 2024 - This is one of the worst classes I've ever taken at UCLA. All the concepts are completely irrelevant to mathematics. You're better off taking regular calculus as you'll actually learn helpful things. If I could go back in time I would take the regular math series. Do not let everyone pressure you to take this because it's life science. The professor is so hard to understand and even attending every single lecture and sitting by the front learning things during lecture was so difficult. My class's biggest complaint was that she did not write the midterm and it was presented with things we didn't even learn and things we learned but in a different format. If you must take this take it with Bennoun but honestly this whole class and the concepts are ridiculous. The grading scheme made it so that the final replaces your midterm which was probably the only good thing about that class. The homeworks is only one every week and isn't the worst. Overall, do not take this class withthis professor even if you survive this class, 30B is just worse.
