Spring 2020 - I'm not a math major but I took this class as one of my TBR engineering courses, the class material is hard but Professor Nurbekyan was great. His lectures were better than any of my engineering courses. He's very clear and caring for students. The class is based on weekly HWs (which first 4-5 was very long but rest was fine), 3 short midterms (were he droped the lowest one), and a final exam (longer than midterms but doable). Overall I recommend him for this class.

Winter 2020 - I consistently scores 20/15 on homework, which meant answers 100% correct plus extra credit for neat, clear work. However the exams were graded on a completely different standard - answers which would have been worth full credit on homework were given half credit or less due to the professor's insanely strict expectations for what a proof is WHICH HE NEVER EVEN MENTIONED IN CLASS. This guy is terrible, his class is a trap for people unable to read his mind. Unless you have the answer key while you're taking the test, you're screwed.

Fall 2020 - This is the second class I took with Prof. Nurbekyan and so far he's the best instructor I had. He explains every concept really clearly and really cares about student learning. I felt like he gave a great understanding of not just the concept but some of its interesting implications, and at the end of the quarter I felt like I had a great grasp of the concepts taught. The class itself sounds really interesting at first, but then there was lots of physics involved which is least favorite topic for almost every math major. Syllabus consist of 20% hw (typically 5-6 question but grading on it was pretty tough), 15% group project (which was very engaging and helpful), 35% midterm and 30% final (which both where really difficult to solve)
