Fall 2021 - Super nice/chill professor. He's pretty loveable, even if you hate the topic you can't hate him. The exams are open everything and graded with a good perspective, i.e. if you don't have time to solve something and write how you would've done it, you'll get plenty of credit, or if you screw up and write "this is definitely wrong bc of X, Y, Z" then you'll get credit for being able to recognize something went wrong. I don't think there are any other professors teaching this class right now, but that's a good thing, he's a gem.

Professor Sepulveda is a great professor, he practically knows the course like the back of his hand. Once you get past his sometimes sloppy handwriting and Italian accent, there's no one better for the job. The material was difficult but he manages to teach it every subject flawlessly. It is extremely fast paced so you have to make sure not to fall behind when writing notes. The book was useless except for the table of Laplace Transforms, which you are advised to bring to exams. His exams are open book and notes, but the exams are structured such that you won't be able to finish it if you constantly referred to your lecture notes, so make sure you study the example problems carefully. Go to all the lectures and do all the homework meticulously, all his exams are pretty much reiterations of homework problems and class examples.
