  • I didn't believe in the existence of God. That was until I met Xuemiao Chen.

  • good course, Final was hard as fuck

  • (Xuemiao Chen W24) Was so lost at the start of the course, and Chen was talking about seemingly random, unrelated topics from class to class. But in the end everything came together and realized the whole course is about a single topic: uniform convergence. Topics covered were not the most useful, but I definitely improved my analysis skills. Midterm and final were both stupid difficult and required analytical skills beyond what was taught in class to solve.
    Professor Chen has a very... unique... way of teaching, that I thoroughly enjoyed but clearly is not for everyone. He is extremely passionate about what hes doing, and will try his best to share what he loves with the class.

  • Horrible. Literally the worst course. MATH 145 and 147 was SO COOL and then winter comes and you're looking for coop and it's cold and miserable and everything sucks and 146 and 148 are boring and 148 is making you question even being a math student at all. Why are we doing all these integrals. Help.

MATH 146/148 after 135/137? 6 points, 3 comments

u/jjej2000: “Anyone have experience moving up from either math 135/137 in 1A to math 146/148 in 1B? Any significant gaps in knowledge? Which one would be better without taking its advanced-level prereq?”

u/ParticleRoaster: “… On the other hand I think MATH 148 uses a lot of results from MATH 147 that's probably not cover in MATH 137 (for example sup/inf, completeness, cauchy sequences, uniform continuity etc.) But again, these are not hard to learn by yourself if u did well in 137 and is willing to …”

u/amongus44: “I didn't do math 14 but ik the cs146 + math146 + math148 combo is not uncommon, you'll have plenty of people going through the exact same thing I think if you're taking all 14X and you feel somewhat confident if you took 14X this term you'll find stat230 pretty easy Econ201 also …”

STAT231 or AMATH250 3 points, 10 comments

“Fall 2B Stat&Actsci student here... Which one of the two courses is more recommended to take first? I heard people said that STAT231 this term is even harder as some second year CS course and people …”

u/Minute-Wolverine417: “if ur goal is to get less workload, then amath250 is a no brainer cuz it's almost like a bird course(especially when u take it online). otherwise just go w stat231”

u/Minute-Wolverine417: “well i took math148 back then so a lotta content in amath250 have been covered in 148. jus differential equations. i believe that u've learnt some of em back in cal2”

“is math235 237 stat230 amath250 afm101 and mthel131 doable? I know these courses r not hard courses but there’re 4 maths. Wanna take mthel131 since im not sure if I’ll do actsci or mathfin rn”

u/Stranger_Natural: “looks doable. 333 might be a bit too abstract for 2A, but if you feel confident in your math abilities then go for it.”

u/Minute-Wolverine417: “… just have one more question, I took math147&148 during first year, but since math247 requires both146&148 so I don't think I could take it. …”

“How’s the program”

u/Hot_Ear4518: “The basic undergrad courses are ok, not much to them, but thats the same at every university. Pmath and co are pretty good and as good as any other uni”

u/blank_anonymous: “… Math 145/146/147/148 are exceptional courses, and most universities don't have any analogue of them.”
