Proofs: there were a lot of proofs in the class, and having experience with proofs is useful.
Single variable Calculus is important (multivariable calculus did not appear often).

Theoretical, abstract. Went over proofs from single variable Calculus. However, many examples were given.
Foundation given for future math classes.

The professor was very attentive as well as approchable, and actively answered questions from students.

Lectures were well prepared and clear, covering the material in an organized way.
Previous experience with proofs make the lectures easier to follow.

Difficult and required students to use theorems creatively. However, problems are doable over time.
Often, psets are applications of theorems from lectures.

The problems on the exams were similarly difficult, maybe slightly easier than the psets.
The exams was closed notes and challenging, requiring creativity.
The practice exams and lectures were very useful for preparing.

“The class can be pretty challenging but is very fun and rewarding! While many students in the class will probably already know how to write proofs and do not struggle much with the material, a big point of the class is help students develop their proof writing skills, so don’t feel bad if you struggle at first!”
“I think it is important to stay on track with lectures and spend time working through problem sets and trying out the proofs before working with other people.”
