Do not under any circumstances, take a course this professor unless the following criteria apply to you: 1) You have some sort of cranial cybernetic implant. 2) You have an intense desire to fail, and undergo pain in the process. I'm not dense, mind you. In my previous university, I took at least five seperate math courses because I found it interesting. His accent is thick, but I had no problem with it. Unfortunately, this professor will bring up all kinds of abstract information, and like another rater said, even material that will not be on your tests.

You are also forced to buy his book. He writes it. There is no other book. That in itself is a red flag. I became so incredibly desperate in this course, I hired a tutor with an MS in mathematics. They couldn't understand the material! I found another one, and they had the same problem! I went to the T/A for assistance, and instead, all I was met with was a 20 minute long discussion about the 5th dimension, which apparently had little if anything to do with the homework which I could not do.

Among my experiences which I wish I could go back in time to change and make right, taking this course with this professor ranks among the top five of that list. A-V-O-I-D!
