This professor is awesome. Easy class, was nervous at first but would recommend. I think underclassmen could take it.

He sometimes is a really mean person and would not be happy to help you understand some basic math concept, probably he think it's too easy and waste his time. However, a lot of extra credits which makes me can skip final project(18% of total). Expected to spend a lot of time on homework like a 6 credit class. Teaching is not bad.

The amount of homework if you're not familiar with Mathematica is unreasonable, Ofttenly taking 20-40 hours for biweekly Homeworks

Tao is among the most awesome professors I've had at WashU. His lectures are very interactive, engaging, and crystal clear. The only catch is that the homeworks and exams can be tough. Still, if you find yourself in a position where you can take a class with Tao, you should definitely sign up.

Professor Ju is one of the best professors I've had ever. He knows what he's talking about, and tries to make things interesting, fun, and worthwhile. He is also a genuinely nice guy that cares for the students he teaches. His classes involve a lot of work though.
