The course in very well run in every way, and the professor is an amazing lecturer! He is very clear, thoughtful, and helpful. My only complaint is that he is a bit dry at times. That is just a blip of dissatisfaction in my overwhelming love for this class, though. It was a wonderful experience!

This man is my hero. He's so kind and a great lecturer. He'll get really into the material to the point that it makes me laugh sometimes but I'm not laughing at him, he has my full respect, I just think it is very sweet. Analysis is a hard topic no matter who you learn it from, but he teaches it clearly and his class is structured, tests are reasonable. His homeworks are well written and sometimes enjoyable even. My favorite math professor I've had here. Take Tyler Arant if you can't take Terence Tao

This class is a major pre-req for me and I took this before I took Math 32 series. Honestly, it wasn't that bad. The component of this class is pre-lecture quizzes (often reading based, he assigns you a chapter and a quiz that goes with it to do for homework), homework (he gives a fair amount of textbook problems as well as his own problems), midterm 1 + midterm 2 (they are both very fair tests. He would only test you on stuff that he already went over), final (which I found the hardest out of all things I did in his class but he does curve it). Also, if you are ever unclear about certain concepts or homework questions, go to his office hours or his TA's office hours. I found those pretty helpful!

I came back to comment after finishing this course 2 months later just to tell you how brilliant this professor is. My fav professor for math classes so far. Really learnt a lot from this class. He explains everything extremely well, is willing to go over everything step by step, and is a really nice & approachable professor in general. Homeworks took time but were doable; exams were fair and not so hard as long as you've studied. TAKE him as long as you get a chance. You won't regret.

Prof arant is very willing to clarify questions explain further; his homeworks often took longer than I would have wanted to spend on a homework set, but if you go to his office hours you can get help. The TA strike this quarter was a little unfortunate, though, cuz I feel like I needed as much clarification as I could get esp towards the end of the quarter.

Generally I felt like this course is pretty different from calculus and it was honestly slightly confusing to picture what I was learning, but after a while the math gets pretty repetitive, so if you can get really good at solving problems you should be fine. he does include a couple explanation type problems on exams tho, so having a strong theoretical understanding never hurts.

[Tyler's not going to be here after this year, but I thought I'd give a review as reflection of what honors multi can be.]
One of the best classes I've ever taken. The lectures were engaging - concepts were *explained* - all the reasons behind each concept, well enough that I could normally look back at my notes and understand at least to some degree why every action was taken. And if I didn't, there were three hours of OH to get help with homework, get questions answered, and go on random math tangents. The course was very different from non h - very proof-based, large focus on sequences and sets, homeworks had a limited number of problems that required much thought, and the class was small enough to have a fun group chat and group study/support.
I also took 32bh, and this sequence convinced me that I want to at least try some upper div math classes - currently planning to end up with a math minor.
It'll depend on the teacher, but I highly recommend at least checking out the honors math classes

I took 32AH and 32BH with Professor Arant and he’s one of the most wonderful professors I’ve had at UCLA. His lectures are exceptionally clear and he explains hard concepts very well.
His class was definitely challenging and 32BH was harder than 32AH. However, as long as you do the homework every week, you should be on top of things. To do the homework, you will need your notes/textbook but if you do that, you should be pretty much set for the midterms/final.
He’s very approachable, friendly and has good handwriting. I heard he also won a teaching award, which he definitely deserves. His class prepared me really well for my proof intensive upper division honors classes. Can’t recommend him enough. Take a class with him if you can

His lecture notes are clear enough to learn without going to class.

Homework is time consuming so go to OH.

Midterms and Finals are easy or at least fair but grader is meticulous and picky so because you have 24-hours for the test, you should spend extra time making your proofs coherent.

Lectures are complicated but he's verbose so you can scribble down his lectures and study it later. He tends to make things theoretical but he's not complicated and he doesn't go on tangents.

Homework is incredibly hard so go to OH for sure.

Tests are definitely fair. Not easy but the questions aren't designed to trick you.

Definitely take his class unless the alternative is some 5/5 math professor like Keranen or Conley.
