Easily one of the best professors at UMD and it shows. He is EXTREMELY intelligent, and explains stuff SO well. I can't emphasize how good he is at teaching people. He has clearly internalized math. If you can take a class with him, do not even think twice because you are gonna finish the class with so much more "mathematical maturity" than before you took this class. In a sense, the class teaches you mathematical thinking on top of the concepts, which I think is far more valuable than just the course material. You sort of internalize the contents. Also, he is a super kind professor. He makes the class fun and is SO GOOD at responding to emails. I always emailed him questions, and he always responded with detailed explanations and pretty quick to. I have never felt so comfortable emailing a professor about questions. He really cares a lot about students succeeding. Overall, if you take his class it will be a great experience.

One of the best professors at UMD hands down. Genuinely feels like an Ivy league professor. He is very smart, knows what he is talking, and he is caring about students and wants them to succeed. On top of this he is very good at teaching students the thinking process behind the math, rather than just handwaving stuff. If you are willing to put in the effort, which you should if you are taking upper level math, I would highly recommend him.
