MATH104A . 9 Months Ago

The best math professor. I've had him for 104a, 104b, and now 104c. The review sessions before the midterm and final are extremely helpful, homeworks can be tough but are doable, and the lowest 1-2 are dropped. 2 midterms but lower one is dropped. Take his class if you have the chance!

MATH104A . 10 Months Ago

Heavy accent and doesn't really explain things well. as others have said he copies notes/lectures from another prof and often presents incorrect information. Hw takes FOREVER to do and is very code-heavy, pain in the behind tbh. exams are pretty difficult and relies on memorization of concepts. overall do not recommend (i also took 104b with yang)

MATH104A . 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

legendary. Guaranteed A if you go to lectures and put in a little effort.

MATH104B . 2 Years Ago

took his 104A earlier so take this 104B again. getting a good grade is not easy when your TA is tough, but prof himself is not bad. hw is reasonable. if u skip his class, dont skip the review session. the grading policy is so nice. the "drop the lower mid score" literally saves my life. //will write another comment when i finish his 104c.

Prof Xu Yang is very nice and patient. He has review sessions that help us prepare for mid & final, which is SUPER helpful. drop the lowest for one of the hw & one of the mid.

Literally just used another professor's lecture slides and notes.
