Winter 2018 - I'm taking this class right now as my Tech Breadth, so I haven't finished it yet. I just wanted to review since people are gonna enroll soon for next quarter and there aren't any review for Das yet! Das is the best math teacher i've had here at UCLA. It's been freakin years since I walked out of a math class and actually understood what was going on. He is extremely passionate about math and will definitely excite you. If I had a teacher like this in high school or even freshman year, I might have considered being a math major LOL. He's awesome. His hw takes a bit of time, but if you get through it and actually understand what you wrote, the tests are easy. Tests are easier than the homework. Homework isn't that hard.

I thought Eskin was great. He's a pretty slow, clear lecturer, his homework assignments are reasonably long and his tests are very fair. For his exams, understand the theorems in the chapters. He likes to put proofs on the exams(as if that's a surprise). Understand the homework problems and understand the theories that you find in the book and in lecture and you'll be fine.

Winter 2021 - Professor Filipazzi is an analysis GOAT. His lectures were engaging and he covered a lot of material in class. He was always willing to answer the smallest of questions and always explained concepts in an intuitive manner in both OH and lectures. The homeworks were time-consuming and sometimes quite difficult but they test your analysis fundamentals. Professor Filipazzi is always happy to give hints in OH. The homeworks helped me prepare for the midterms and final which were on a similar level of difficulty if not less. The weekly quizzes were sometimes ruthless as they had around 10 questions and even getting one question wrong would drop 10% of the quiz grade. However, professor compensated for the difficult quizzes and homeworks by dropping 2 of the lowest for each. I gained a very good understanding of concepts such as cauchy and convergent sequences, integrability, differentiability and continuity and would take any class with professor Filipazzi. It's unfortunate that he is probably leaving at the end of the spring 2021 quarter.
