Comment:
No math background? No problem! This course is more of a logical course more than math. If you can prove an argument you'll do well in this course as being able to give a proof is a fundamental skill. Attend his lectures and do the example questions and you should be fine in this class. Not too difficult compared to most math courses.

Comment:
Probably one of the best professors to teach Math. He gives example questions before tests which are very simple to the actual test itself. No midterm but four tests are given. If you practice the questions he gives as well as come to lecture there's no way you would not at least receive a B.

I wish I could have him as my prof for every math course I take. He's very theatrical when he lectures and makes it easy to stay focused. He grades based on your ability to understand concepts rather than your ability to memorize proofs. The class isn't easy but he is very fair in his tests and marking

One of the worst profs I've ever had. I've always been good at math and his class just screwed me over. Would definitely recommend taking another class if you can, his lectures are extremely boring and the tests are way too long to finish in the given time.

Amazing and best for people who like to understand what they do instead of putting numbers in equations like robots. He is very strong on explaining concepts and ideas, and his tests focus on everything he actually does in class! Love this guy!

Prof Brettler explained things very well. Focused on concepts and understanding over precision. very busy course, I had low skills going in and probably would have failed with another Prof

I had very low math skills going into the class, the course moved quickly but Prof made it very easy to understand conceptually. I probably would have failed with another prof.

Comment:
This course was definitely not an easy course. This course requires a lot of hard work especially when having Professor Brettler as a prof. However, he is a fantastic professor, he makes you realize the value of math. Just a tip, sharpen your skills on mental math as he does not permit calculators. IT is not impossible to achieve an A in the course

Really a decent professor. He makes mistakes occasionally, but so does everyone else. First test was slightly too long and 2nd test was way too easy. He has a casual yet productive course environment.

Difficult test requires proficiency and understanding. He comes prepared but still sometimes confused people. Easily tell that he is not specialized in prob and 2030 is not a easy course though.

He is the guy who shows you what is real teaching in math, very passionate, very clear, challenging your assumptions and brains all the time in class. Too much hard homework is the only problem, but that is how you learn.

it's very easy to get distracted in his class (he's very dull to listen to). follows the textbook too closely (why should we go to class if we can study the book at home?!). and his tests didn't always reflect the homework assignments. positive: always eager to answer questions

Very nice professor. Can be very hard to listen to as he talk very slowly and can be repetitive at times. Other than that you can rely on him for any help you need. However, you must go to him for the help

Great Professor. Takes problems and breaths life into them. There is a reason for doing this. A very challenging course to teach and does a great job of it. Is more than fair with quizzes, and very willing to help you work through problems, just ask! Finally someone who doesn't put me to sleep.

Comment:
One of the Best Math professors at York University. Totally changed my way of looking at math in general. Not an easy professor because of the he wants the concepts to be understood on a deeper level than just being able to do the exercises, but this is also why he's so good :)
