Winter 2025 - This review is for MATH 131AH. In one sentence, this class was a roller coaster. The class material was taken from Monica Visan, who taught the class in previous years (her notes and homeworks were used, which you can see on her class websites). Georg wrote his own exams, so the midterm was quite different from the homework, making it difficult. However, the final felt much easier, perhaps written intentionally so because the class average for the midterm was so low. Additionally, Georg usually only gave outlines for proofs, and the few times he gave a full proof, he often made mistakes. The highlight of the class (which me and my friends still joke about) is when we wasted a whole lecture trying to prove the Shroeder-Bernstein Theorem. Georg's proof had so many mistakes, which turned the lecture into a debate session between him and the students. We ended up never finishing the proof. However, all in all, Georg is a very nice and funny person, and his office hours were fun and helpful if you had any questions.
