Don't be too stressed about the class; the reviews are more about the professor than the actual material anyway, the professor does not really matter for this class if you can self-study. In terms of the material, I have a background in Calc 1, so I found this class pretty bearable, and I rarely went to the class. I found the TA more helpful than a professor. The only way to succeed in the class is if you practice doing the problem sets 3 times each for each exam and look at the slides. AGAIN, DO THE PROBLEM SETS. If you're anything like a procrastinator like me, here is a guide to study: Start 3 days before the exam (you will be set!). Look at the slides and understand the examples. Day 2: do all the problem sets look at the answers, and understand how they write and solve them. Then, on the last day, do the problem sets two more times! Structure : 3 quizzes(2/3 This helped my grade ideally you will do well on the first(if you study, easy) and the last one(very easy) , 3 exams(1st one (derivates and stationary points know the material and study), 2nd one(constrained optimization, if you don't understand just memorize the way to solve them, they're very similar or know the material A LOT) 3rd(matrix, easy peasy) and the final(everything combined). Have something answered, partial points are the reason I did not bad. |

Professor Yang has improved a bit since the other reviews. He's good at breaking down more complex concepts and has a "no stupid questions" attitude. Pretty good class overall. The constrained optimization unit will kill you if you don't go to lectures. |

Terrible professor. Made lagrangian and other concepts way harder than they had to be. |

Nice man and not too hard of a grader. He made a lot of mistakes in the class multiple times in the semester he would explain a problem for 10-20 minutes and then realize the problem was either written wrong or he made a mistake early, and he would just be like hmm, and move on. Some days he also seemed unprepared in class. Don't avoid him but don't seek him either. |

Professor Yang is not a great teacher. I didn't find the class too hard and attended all the lectures, but his explanations were confusing and he would often get it wrong the first time and have to go back and correct himself, making it more confusing. In-class ungraded worksheets and homework helped me understand the material. |

He explains things really well. I wish there were more professors like him! The class doesn’t curve, but the grading is generous. |

explains things pretty poorly... acts like you should already know the answer when you have a question. TA was never there. pretty difficult course so I recommend making some friends to study with. |
