  • A little more theoretical than I would have hoped, but assignments didn't take a ridiculous amount of effort (except for proof questions).
    Practical and seemingly useful examples provided in class and in assignments. Prof likes to ask proofs on tests so watch out for those - also be sure to do the additional problem sets prior to tests.

  • Tough course. Useful but packed with theory that doesn't always seem related. The R is interesting.
