Really great lecturer, if you sit in the front two rows... to be able to hear him clearly. Everything on the exams was covered in lecture, no trick questions whatsoever. Everybody I know including myself received an A in his course. His office hours are great if you're struggling with any homework problem or concepts. In short, this man is a genius!

A few things, the book assigned for this class (small and red, ten bucks at ucla store) was terrible and I stopped reading after the first section. I recommend getting another textbook, I used Saff's to learn the material.. even online slides for intro to complex analysis would be more useful. Still need the book for the hw, though.

He usually assigned a lot of hw questions, I'm talking 15-30. This hw took me foreveeeer to complete... but in the long run helped solidify my knowledge b/c the key to learning this material is doing a ton of problems.

Grade was hw, one midterm, and final. Two grading schemes, one with and one without the midterm.

Overall, this guy is old school, hand written exams, nothing on the course website except hw problems, and he lectures without notes!

I just thought he was a GREAT professor. I recommend!
