 This guy is a genius mathematician!! He is very intelligent but sometimes very hard to understand because of his intelligence. His most famous line when you ask him a question is this: "If you think about it, no" That's how he 'explains' things to you. If you think your right your completely wrong because he is a genius and 1000x smarter than you. He wrote 5 or so books and has a column on ABC.com. If your not good at math DO NOT take his classes. If your okay at math or math comes easy to you than go for it. Great guy just a little too smart for his own good.

 He's really easy if you can grasp concepts easily and pay attention. If you can do that, then all you have to do is find out quiz (test) dates and go to the class before that one so you can review what he taught. Everything in this class was open notes, so you just needed to be able to understand what he's talking about. If you can execute a problem correctly, but end up making a small mistake, you might be lucky and not get any points taken off.
