Always helpful, tries to make you understand.

One of the best! Very thoughtful, open to questions, wants you to understand and appreciate the material, extremely accommodating. His lectures can be hard to follow at times, make sure to ask questions about the proofs if you're lost. He's happy to clarify in office hours too. He'll tell you exactly what topics will be on exams.

I took 23, 24, and 104 with Prof. Streichan and he was a gem in all three. One of the few physics professors who you can tell truly cares about teaching and his students. His homework is manageable and exams are easy (in the context of the department, of course). Lectures can be derivation heavy, but he never fails to make the material digestible.

Professor Streichan is great. Homeworks are from Taylor, he is very fond of derivations, so expect one on the midterm and another on the final. They are pulled straight from his lecture notes. He posts his notes on guachospace, but his writing can be difficult to read at times. So its best to go to lecture. He is also very accessible in his office.

Best ever

Very good professor with great lectures and reasonable homeworks. Our midterm was quite difficult but rereading lecture notes helps a lot.
