Mike Olinick
MATH
Math 223 was not that hard, but the lectures were incredibly dull and not engaging. Olinick uses his own confusing and error ridden textbook, but if you go to TA hours you will mange. I would avoid taking with Olinick.
In this course, you get the chance to explore many interesting mathematical models. This course relies heavily on concepts from differential equations. The work outside of class is relatively heavy. There is a midterm and a final for this class that are weighted heavily.
Professor Olinick's passion for mathematics comes out in this class. The content is mostly based from his mathematical modeling textbook. He is a great lecturer and very sweet and accommodating. He makes himself very available to his students to answer any questions. I recommend taking this class!
