Professor Yeong is a great professor, she's a very clear lecturer and was very organized. The homework load wasn't too bad, and the exams were very fair. The class discussions were pretty useful, as they consisted of us doing practice problems with LAs present to give one-on-one help. I think this class could be difficult depending on who you take it with, but I found it pretty easy to succeed with Professor Yeong.

I'd highly recommend taking Math 61 before this class (or any upper-division math course, for that matter) to get a solid foundation in writing basic proofs. With that said, the proofs we were asked to do on the exams were very straightforward and mostly consisted of basic theorems related to field and vector space properties, we weren't asked to prove the more involved theorems related to linear algebra on exams. The first part of the course focused on building a strong foundation of understanding for fields and vector spaces, and focused a bit more on learning the theorems and basic proofs. The second part of the course mostly covered eigenvalues and eigenspaces, and was more computation-based. It's a bit more rigorous than what you learn in 33A, but the content is pretty similar.

Overall, this class is definitely one of the most manageable math upper-divs, especially if you have a solid foundation in logic and proofs. Professor Yeong is a great professor to take it with.
