Professor Yang was very clear in his explanations. Hes also very cute like 9/10 (^_^;) and he has neat handwriting. I believe that I could learn a lot of differential equations from him.

Thick accent, easy midterm, take CLAS instead of going to class. CLAS guy (Tyler) is super helpful.

His class is really easy, but he offers little to no help with homework and preparation for tests. Utilize CLAS, section, and Math Lab as much as possible, and it's an easy A.

Yang is really an easy going professor. The first midterm was super easy, he says the final is going to be harder but I am not too worried. We moved pretty slow and he even didn't have time to finish some topics. The homework is on wiley and it sucks. The textbook also sucks. Yang also has a thick accent that is hard to understand.

Hector is very helpful and made the class enjoyable. Homework was brief but challenging and the practice final exam proved similar to the final.

Hands down the best prof I ever had. He is inspiring, caring, and a gifted mathematician. A must for any math major.

Hector speaks with a bit of an accent, but you get used to it. His blackboard work is very clear and easy to follow. Much better than other math professors I've had.

Pretty good professor. Answers questions well. Kinda funny. Would recommend.

Knowledgeable guy. If you can do the homework you'll do well in the class. Go to TA office hours if you need help. CLAS!

fairly easy, comes off a bit arrogant. Used homework problems on midterm and gave a practice final that helped immensely. Lectures were dry

Decent teacher. Spends a lot of time on proofs in lecture but works along with the text book. His tests are fair and straight foward. If you do all the homework and read examples in the book you will do fine. He was hard to understand at first but you get used to it.

If you can avoid this professor. He is not only hard to understand but he also tries to cram in as many topics into one lecture as he can. I did not learn in his class, I learned more from my TA than I did him. He is also kind of boring. Final worth 50%of grade, so if you need to do very well in order to pass. Hard class, take another professor.

He was hard to understand at first since he wrote extremely small but he stepped up his game for the rest of the quarter. If it weren't for CLAS though, I would've probably failed. I only used the textbook as a reference---you can get away with online help and tutoring to complete the homework. Review was indicative of final exam. Not bad. I passed

He's a great professor. BUT spends the entire class time showing us how he got the formula rather than how to use it!!! Impossible Final Review, with no answers!!! :) and yeah, pretty much talks to the board!!! But hes funny when he wants to be. If that even matters when your going to fail the class lol....

A good professor, probably better for a harder class. He teaches simple things in complicated terms which can be confusing, but he is actually a good teacher. The homework is often way harder that the examples in class, but some of it your discussion section should help with.

AWFUL TEACHER!!! He cannot explain anything in comprehensible terms. He just talks directly to the board the entire hour. He never provides example problems, and just goes into a lengthy proof of the idea, which he later tells us we don't need to know. If I have to hear him say "exes squared" one more time....

Not the best teacher ever or anything, but i guess he gets the job done considering calculus is pretty boring. He is quite repetitive in class though.

His lectures were inspiring. I had no clue what I could do professionally until I took this class. He connects concepts to the real world. Great prof and sweet person too. This class with him is a must for all applied math majors.

He is great. He has a special talent to explain things and to connect to applications. He is really funny and approachable. Best prof I had at UCSB

Explains concepts well and goes through a lot of examples. Practice midterm was identical to the real midterm. Homework is hard, but not worth that much. CLAS is a good call.

Probably the best Math prof. that I've had at this university (and I've almost had them all). His boardwork is perfect, he spends lots of time making sure you understand theory and his tests are very fair (do the practice ones!). He isn't exactly the type of prof. to just GIVE you the answer, but he'll point you in the right direction. A+!

Class is somewhat difficult for people with no programming experience. Prof flys through material by providing proofs for methods rather making sure students intuitively understand material. No one seems to be very interested until he cracks a joke or two...not enough to make the class worthwhile.

To the reviewer below: you wouldn't know a good professor if he smacked you in the face with knowledge.

class ok but quite possibly the most unhelpful prof i've ever had. Doesn't help in office hours and i don't know who grades the hw/exams but whoever it is must have some sort of learning disability. easy A for me in 104a but got a B in 104b even though i did much better on the hw/final. Yeah that makes a whole lot of sense...
