No prerequisites were necessary but some Calculus experience is helpful.
Course Staff
Very approachable. The professor was always available for consultations. Office hours were very helpful.
Lectures
Most students believed that they learned the most from lecture and lecture notes.
Problem Sets
Problem sets were challenging but fair.
Some students attempted the problems on their own and then worked with peers.
Exams
There were a total of 6 quizzes, each under 30 minutes.
Quizzes were challenging but generally easier than problem sets.
Resources
The professor regularly uploaded very well organized lecture notes and lecture recordings.
A textbook supplemented class notes.
Grading
Final grade was majorly dependent on problem set grades.
Students found the grading to be very fair. Completion of all problem sets results in a passing grade.
Advice to Future Students
“If you’re interested in math but scared about taking something more theoretical/proof-based or classes beyond 18.02/18.03/18.06, I highly recommend this class.”
