Comment:
Easily one of the best applied math profs I've had. Outlines concepts and proofs in a clear, easy-to-follow manner. Felt spoiled by the fact he compiled a full list of definitions and theorems as the course progressed. Provided a outline of what questions would be on the final. Almost entirely stuck to that.... Amazing!

He gives good intuitive outlines of proofs before rigourously doing it. This course is all proofs. A pretty straightforward class.

Amazing prof. Opening the textbook before the semester started had me afraid of how boring/hard the class would be, but he made the course shockingly interesting and relevant. The midterm was fair, the assignments were challenging. An organized, and absolutely inspiring educator. One of the teacher's that makes you proud of your school.

His notes are extremely organized. He's a funny guy too. Make sure you actually go through the class examples, because they cover what's asked in the labs. Also, do the recommended exercises and make sure you understand HIS notes. After all, he's the course coordinator. :o

probably the best prof you can ask for. makes his lectures so easy to follow, his jokes are the best, and he's always willing to help. go to class, do the homework and ask for help and you will do well. Now excuse me while I go eat a sandwich....

This guy is hilarious! He keeps his lectures easy to understand (like seriously, teaches it at a kindergarden level) so you learn the material fast. Hes just awesome, I cant even describe how awesome he is. Fair wanring though, his tests are by no means easy :P

Wouldn't call him the best, but he wasn't terrible either. He was a funny guy, and he was fun. But his writing was sometimes difficult to read, especially from the back. In the first half of the course he was awesome, and it was always hard to find a seat. In the second half, he was very confusing, and nothing made much sense; the class emptied.

Hes the course coordinator so that says a lot already. His online notes are amazing, you really actually dont need to attend/pay attention to his classes if you understand the online notes. the weekly labs are challenging, but the midterm & final were not bad. kinda soft-spoken, but he has a good sense of humour.

Comment:
Given his material for linalg, I guess it wasn't too bad. To be honest, the textbook we used (lin alg and applications by mcgraw hill ryerson) was completely useless. BUT I never went to his lectures. His notes are better read than listened to. When I went for help, he was helpful. However without weekly tutorial problem sets I would have failed.

Hilarious prof. He knew his stuff, but yes he did make some mistakes. This textbook was a waste of my time, but his online notes were fantastic - slightly lengthy, but useful. Do not miss a single class as they are all connected - way more than any course i've ever taken. If you understand the theory in this course, inside and out, you'll be fine.

Online notes were helpful, but be careful: they have errors in them. Often the assignments will have errors in them, and his notes given in class will have errors in them. Other than that, he is straight-forward, midterms, finals and assignments are fair. Real Analysis seems to be terribly boring, though.

He's a good prof. I can't really complain, but the course was a huge joke. I won't take it again... A real analysis course without integration?!
