Eilat Glikman

It is overall a good class there is surely a lot of math in there so it is good if you have a solid foundation in mathematics. we have 3 exams and a problem set every 2 weeks. i learned a lot from this class

This course was difficult when it needed not to be because of mistakes on Prof Glikman's end. She would make problems unecessarily difficult and not realize until she solved the problems herself on certain homeworks, so that was extremely frustrating. I think she teaches the material okay, but it does not feel as if she is that well-versed on the subject herself, as she often says that she is an astrophysicist so this is not her specialty. I also am confused why she did not use the standard Townsend textbook in which she says is better than the actual textbook she requires.

I found this course very valuable in teaching the fundamental physics and math concepts that underlie many of the later classes in the physics track. While the class is relatively fast-paced and covers complex material, Professor Glikman is very enthusiastic and always willing to help. If you aren't interested in the physics major, I would not recommend taking this class, but otherwise, this class is very helpful and important.
