Student comments⭐

"you have been one my favorite professors at uoft. I would always preach to my friends to go to your lectures as you explained the material thoroughly and intuitively. I gladly woke up at 8:30 am to make the lecture every time :)"
"I never fully understood linear algebra even after learning it three times, or got along very well with mathematics to be honest, but your teaching made the subject feel much more intuitive and smooth. I appreciate the simplicity and clarity of your explanations."
