If you have the option to take 32B with Noah, do it. He is by far my favorite math professor so far at UCLA. He is incredibly helpful, always answering questions on Campuswire, and homework in the class is incredibly light. Lectures are clear and entertaining, and he always has a good attitude. You can tell he is passionate about the subject and cares for his students. I would love to take another class with him.

My favorite math professor so far - his homework was usually only 2-3 problems each, and while
they were more in-depth and he wanted you to explain each step more, they were less stressful than doing a 16 problem assignment. His tests were very fair and similar to the practice midterms he provided. I would recommend to go to office hours before tests to get explanations of the little tricks that can be involved in solving some problems. His lectures were rarely confusing and he always clarified a point if someone was confused or he felt he didn't explain it well enough. It was a little easy to zone out sometimes, as the explanations could start off a little basic and slowly, but it really helped for more complicated topics.

White is extremely chill and gives good lectures to class. The workload is entirely up to you. He gives weekly problem sets that you don't need to turn in but every other week in discussion there is a quiz which is pretty basic. However, the tests and final in particular are absolute monsters. Clover May had slightly easier tests but she was kinda cranky for a lot of lectures and gave super long homework sets each week, takes like 4 hours to get through them, so take White if you want a decent professor who gives hard tests, or maybe it's just the nature of Math 32B.

This class is tough without a doubt but honestly Prof White does do a good job of teaching this class. His notes are super good and his lectures are engaging. The only downside is that the tests are super tough which is where I struggled.
I would say given the fact that this is a hard class and there are much worse professors out there, go with Prof White.

Although the quizzes and midterm are okay (and mostly easy), the homework is RIDICULOUSLY HARD!!! I feel so frustrated when I try to think about a single question for the whole afternoon and cannot get it solved. I don't think making the homework THIS hard is reasonable at all.

Amazing Professor, especially for an online setting. He made himself available any time we needed him. Homeworks were hard and engaging but he gave hints when asked. Quizzes were usually easy but had 1 or 2 tricky questions that could throw you off. Tests were really fair, 24 hr tests. Took me about 2-3 hours to do most questions and maybe another 3-4 to perfect 1 or 2 of the proof questions. He changed his grading scheme just for this quarter because it was online and I personally really liked it. You can find his scheme on his website. Overall amazing Professor, would not hesitate to take ANY other math class with him, especially a proof-heavy one

Fantastic professor! Always go for White whenever you can for any classes you want. However, I think his class is a bit too easy but it's probably because of the online nature of this quarter (so probably no curves if you messed up). Midterms and finals are generally easier than homework and the homework is around medium-easy difficulty. He's super responsive to emails and super helpful during office hours. Quizzes are kind of tricky especially with time components so you should have a decent intuition of the week's material before you take the quizzes. CAVEAT: It may be easier for me particularly because I had already taken 131A, which is particularly hard for me but provided me with a good foundation for proofs for 115A.

My little piece of advice: wait until the guinea pig phase of online classes has passed before taking such a challenging class as Math 32B. I have no complaints about the professor, but unfortunately, students were put on edge throughout the quarter as the professor adapted to the online format. Misjudgments about the format led him to give out extremely hard homework assignments (many of you who took this class will cringe at the sight of the words “Homework 2”) and quizzes with unbalanced time limits, making them more difficult than they were intended to be. The first midterm was fair, while the second midterm included some very tricky problems that required some creative intuition on the student’s part since the methods for problems like them weren’t explicitly discussed in class. The final was more difficult than the first midterm but easier than the second midterm, in my opinion. Apart from the graded aspects of the class, Noah was an amazing lecturer and the most helpful professor I’ve ever had. I’m sure I wouldn’t have so many gripes about the class if it weren’t in that awkward adaptation phase to the online format.

Take him!! I know he's going back to Australia but if he ever comes back to UCLA, he's very clear and his midterms and finals are very fair. He made 32B a lot easier than I expected. You have to put in a little extra work outside of class like doing practice problems, but it's worth it because he's a great teacher.

Class overall is tough. White is a good professor, tries to make concepts clear before showing examples. Tests are kind of tough.
