John Schmitt

Prof Schmitt wrote a lot on the chalkboards, and often wrote stuff from the textbook chapter we were on such as theorems and definitions. You can get by this class by reading the textbook and doing the practice exams. Prof Schmitt is very nice and funny, but sometimes the lectures were a lot of writing and not enough going into detail. Overall solid experience.

I took this class in Spring 2025 with Prof. Abbott. He is very good at explaining math concepts and accommodating student's needs. That being said, the course itself is not super interesting, especially having in the early morning. Though, it is required for the major, and also for other subjects like physics and CS.

This was overall a very good class, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who is pursuing physics even though it's not required. Prof. Schmitt has an old school but very straightforward teaching style. Frankly it requires a lot of note-taking, and it's important to pay close attention to the readings if you want to be most effective in this class. It wasn't easy but it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
