  • This was the first offering, but I really quite enjoyed it. The first half of the course wasn’t really what I was expecting, since it was very geometry heavy, and we didn’t really get to the analysis until November-ish. Even then the analysis wasn’t nearly as deep for a 400-level class. Despite that, I found all the content quite interesting, and I found Kateryna to be great at teaching it. She does a great job lecturing and she occasionally tries to ask us questions to get us to engage with the content.

  • My first course in geometry, a lot more enjoyable to learn than typical analysis and algebra courses. Highly recommend if you want to take a course for fun.
