Worst prof I've ever had at UBC. Incredibly rude and harsh to students. Lectures are confusing and hard to follow- had to basically teach myself all the course material. Would AVOID if possible.

Fairly difficult course but he teaches it very clearly with great notes and examples. Gives fair quizes that force you to stay up to date with the material. Your grade will be directly proportional to the amount of time you put into the course.

Comment:
I spoke with this instructor multiple times during the terms regarding my concerns and he brushed me off every time. I am an A-level student but the midterms were way too short. Despite receiving full grades and teaching material to others in my workshops, I was sharply penalized in exams (which test efficiency over ability). Gupta offered 0 help.

Excellent prof. Explains concepts clearly and provides lots of examples. Very helpful as well. Exams are fair and are based on concepts you learnt Textbook is useful for additional help. This is a tough class, so every bit of extra work is worth it.

Dr. Gupta is a clear instructor and for the most part interesting. The tests were fair and if you practice a little from the book you'll find most of the test questions are very similar. All quiz questions are pulled from the textbook so it pays to have practiced from the textbook. Studying involves more training/practicing than actual learning.

He has taught this course for so many years he has it down pretty well. It's just unfortunate that the course itself is very challenging for most people.

Comment:
Math is math. He explains math extremely well but I definitely recommend doing all the homework problems since quizzes are based a lot of the time from the exact questions. Overall, I found him to be a mediocre teacher.

Good Prof, reasonably easy to understand. Sometimes does the calculations in his head, so its a little hard to follow. Do the homework and you should be fine!

Gupta provides very good notes, with lots and lots of pictures (he loves pictures) but they very useful and his notes are easy to comprehend. One can take down his notes and read over them later on and clearly understand the concepts of the topic. The problem i hate is the weekly quizzes which according to the statistics he provides on his site,

Great professor, excellent notes and lectures are MANDATORY. Although this course is hard, what can you expect? It definitely sets the bar up high for students who wants to pursue mathematics in the future. Understanding and wants everyone to do well.Take this class if you want to learn & study HARD. Don't do anything silly! :-) Thanks professor G!

This is a great course. Especially useful if you're interested in applied math or neat proof tools. It's too bad that this course isn't offered every year. Dr. Gupta teaches the course well and the lectures were very clear. We had short quizzes, which was much better than a midterm. Had a lot of fun in this class.
