Mihai Putinar is a genius! Other professors in the department often comment on his amazing mathematical ability. This being said, he expects a lot from his students. Something that he may believe to be simple, will probably be tough for the average student. However, Mihai is always willing to help, and I would suggest to stop by his office hours.

Mihai has such policy: he is a wise father, you are a naive child, sometimes rewarded by candy, sometimes spanked. If you like it, he is right for you.

Professor Putinar is an amazing lecturer. His exams were fair and as someone who really enjoys mathematics, I found his course to be motivating and inspirational. I can't wait to learn more analysis & I appreciate him!! Also head to office hours if you are able to, they help!

Couldn't focus during his lectures. He's not very amusing. Had to purchase HW, but I liked the website a lot because it walked you through everything step by step. Test was easier since it was online and open note.

Mr. Putinar is an uninspiring orator, whose lectures inspire little true understanding of the subject matter. Homework, assigned online through pearson was easily completed, and did not deviate far from the assigned course material. Exams were also given online, through pearson, and were the same difficulty of the homework.

He is very caring and nice. Highly recommended to go to his office hour. The grading is lenient.
