Great class - twelve years later I still remember those two weeks in October 2000 when we talked about Combinatorical Number Theory. Balakrishnan is nice and approachable if you show interest and initiative in learning.

You can't understand anything he says, the only way I learned was from following his work on the board. He's also very rude when you ask question. His final was ridiculous, and he changed his grading policy so the final was 35 percent.

He was very hard to understand. He thought that math should be fun, but I have never been as bored or gotten as little from lectures. He can be very rude, and his final was not how he described it. The answers posted were also incorrect.

His exams get harder as the semester goes on, but he gets harder to understand as the semester goes on as well. His English is NOT very good...and he can't explain things, either.

This class is very easy if you attend lectures and pay attention to details. I really like this professor. I think that he tells it like it is and that people are uncomfortable with it, because they are used to being treated delicately.
