Noah Graham
I really liked Graham as a teacher and Diff Eq overall. The content is really interesting and applicable, and Graham makes it exciting. I wish we didn't use quite so many physics examples but that's just about my only complaint. I did think the second midterm was significantly harder than both the first midterm and the final, but grading was very fair in the end due to the curve.
Complex analysis is a fascinating class which feels both like a pure and applied math class. Professor Graham was very enthusiastic and kept the class engaging by providing helpful analogies and anecdotes that highlighted the importance of the subject. Further, the problem sets were well crafted and each problem provided value to the class. The content can be difficult and Professor Graham can be a bit scattered but going to office hours would help clear things up. One of my favorite math classes. Hands down. Period.

Probably the toughest math class I've taken at Midd. Went in not knowing what to expect, and Prof Graham's palpable enthusiasm was motivating for grappling with relatively difficult material. The concepts were super interesting (if not directly applicable to most other areas of math at the undergrad level) and the problem sets were really well constructed. I'd say there was a noticeable step up in difficulty for the last couple problem sets and the last exam, so be prepared for that. Thankfully, there is a pretty generous curve to go along with the increased difficulty. Overall a positive experience, but would only strongly recommend if you like math/physics enough to struggle with material you may or may not ever see again.
