This class should be fairly easy. But when you take it with Prof Huang, it's not. Lectures were usually empty, and for good reason. Prof Huang taught the syllabus as if she read it from the textbook - each topic was explained only in the most mathematical way possible with lots of derivations that weren't necessary. There was no attempt to explain topics in basic English, only the language of math was used.
She seems like a nice individual but that doesn't really help when it comes to learning. One plus of this class was the generous grading scheme which allowed you to completely drop the midterm for the final. I honestly only got the grade I did because of prior knowledge of the topics from high school and doing lots of practice questions from the textbook.
Long story short, if you are a math nerd through and through you'll love this class. But if you're like me who's just taking it because it's a prerequisite, you're better off finding another professor.
This class was trash. Dropped it after the first few weeks, as did a third of the class. Couldn't understand her at all and I heard the tests were terrible. Keep in mind, I do like math and got A's in every other 30-series class. She was so bad I just decided to push it to next quarter.
The professor is very unclear in her lectures and often goes over proofs that are never brought up again. If you want to do well in this class, just do a lot of practice problems beyond what she assigns as homework. However, her exams are relatively straightforward and she tells you what will be on it.
Professor Huang was a terrible teacher. She could barely speak english, wrote in a tiny font in a 200 person lecture hall, and was not able to understand and respond to questions. I went to every lecture in spite of her terrible teaching, but it rarely got better. I spent this entire course relying completely on myself, my TA, and my peers. Her lectures SLIGHTLY improved when she switched from slideshows to writing everything on the board, but not enough to be actually effective. Her tests were also extremely inconsistent.
