Baeumler knows what he's talking about and presents very clearly. He has lots of office hours where you can get additional help. He's not the most awe-inspiring and tends to go off the textbook almost word for word, but you will definitely learn the textbook content well.

This course does not demand very much real analysis. The homework is a mix of proofs and computation. The exams are almost entirely computational and do not require real analysis.

Like the previous comment said run like hell from this professor. Exams are worth 90% of your grade, over 90% of the teachers here are in the 60-80% range on their grading rubric meaning that's a difference between an A and C or a B and D. Lecture Material didn't correlate with discussion material, discussion I think was ahead or something like that. Gave us very little homework and the TA gave us the answers to the homework problems. The TA decided he should review the homework in 10 minutes when it was supposed to take over an hour to do was so lost by that. Yesterday I asked the professor if he had any tips on how to study for our upcoming midterm and he just said maybe I'll make a practice worksheet by Sunday night. Sonntagnacht, Sie wollen mich wohl verarschen, es ist 8 Uhr morgens und Sie liefern keine Beispiele, wie rücksichtslos von Ihnen!! Type into Google Translate to understand what that means dude loves Germany. Anyhow this dude doesn't give any examples Spending too much time on proofs when this is NOT supposed to be a proof-based class yet he says you need proofs to do the homework bro is a hypocrite. Also, the TA spends a lot of time lecturing about the fact you need Math 61 when you can get away with he made me so worried the first day like just chill dude. Anyhow anyone in the school is better than this inconsiderate dude. Good riddance!!! Hope he improves his teaching 90% should be against teaching policies.

This guy is the goat. I was at 89.7 (A- with curve) and I regrade requested one thing on the final and he granted the request and updated my final grade to an A without me even having to ask. He's also just a chiller and a solid lecturer. Carries himself with swagger.

Really solid professor in my opinion, perhaps he has improved over time. Key points:
- somewhat long, difficult homeworks, office hours or disc. very helpful/necessary to complete correctly
- homeworks are basically all you need to prepare for tests besides reviewing lectures (doesn't give practice tests but I thought it was fine in this case)
- generally helpful overall and clear lectures, doesn't get distracted, professional
- Matt was my TA, he was solid too, could maybe have been more prepared for discussion at times
- allows cheat sheets on tests
- fair/average math exam difficulty for ucla
- posts lecture notes, though I went to all lectures and they deviate slightly from these
- content is not overly theoretical (no analysis really), good balance I think
- has a drop grade scheme for one midterm
- doesn't rely to heavily upon previous 170 sequence courses and he reviews most needed concepts
- he does curve, as my raw grade was barely an A-
Glad I took this as last elective, recommend overall

This is one of the worst upper div math classes I have ever taken. I have no idea why it existed. The class goes into meaninglessly tedious details that will not be used in any other upper-division math classes--including graduate courses. The useful contents can literally be finished in 2 weeks.

The grading is HARSH. Those who get 95%+ get an A, and he decides who gets an A+, not based on grades. He posts no lecture notes, no extra materials, no past/practice questions, no grade distribution(not even mean and median), no nothing. They take points off your exams and hw questions just because your notations do not match his, even if your entire calculation is correct. Plus, he would never tell us the grade cutoffs until one of my classmates asked him.

He does not know how to be a teacher. his lectures are kinda shit. His first midterm was extremely easy, and the second one was then way too much...

I am done talking more about this professor. Just run.
