If you are a math major take Jeff's class at all costs (unless there's some tenured faculty members or Tao teaching lol sorry Jeff). He will guide you through in your academic career. Math majors are usually academically mature but for noobs like me Jeff will be a greater guider.

I did not necessary like Manning as a professor. I felt as if his lectures were very unclear and did not give many examples. H e often ran out of time, so rushed the important material that was saved at the end. His midterms were fair for the material, but my TA was amazing and was basically why I got an A in this class. I found myself reading the textbook after each lecture just so I would understand the material and see examples. The homework was quite tough as he did not discuss most of it during class. He also spent a lot of time on things that were not helpful for the midterms and final, such as Kepler's law. There was about 10-15 homework questions a week. Some of the questions on the final were very hard, but that might have been because it was take-home because of the virus. I would much rather have a different professor for this course, but Manning is manageable.
