  • 29 June 20F in the summer is a fast-paced class and perhaps the first math class you have ever taken in which, to quote the author of the text, "the concepts matter as much as the computations." Be prepared to work hard on this class everyday as there is no other way you will be able to absorb all the ideas, let alone keep up with the volume of work.
