Killip is a pretty engaging professor overall, but his lectures can be a bit confusing as he likes to talk about examples before going over why he's doing the example or what he's trying to show through the example. Reading the book before lectures helps a lot. The midterms were fair in my opinion (I believe the averages were 26/40 and 29/40) and paled in comparison to the difficulty of some of the homework problems. His homework, although challenging, helped in preparation for the final exam (several calculation-heavy problems), which was much more difficult than the midterms. I can't say much about his office hours, but I've heard that a lot of people ask him to go over his homework problems, so that's also a good resource given that he doesn't post homework solutions. The concepts build on each other, so really try to get them down early on so you're good to go later on in the quarter when all classes get rather hectic.

Killip is a very nice and funny guy. I just didn't learn much from his lectures at all and found this class very difficult. His lecture notes have no organization to them and often you're doing super weird example problems with no context. He also makes the homework insanely hard for no reason, it will take hours and hours. And then the fact that he doesn't post homework solutions is so unhelpful. I got a tutor for this class and still did poorly, the material is just plain hard. But the midterms weren't so bad. The final was really tough. Also the grading of the final must have been brutal because almost everyone I know got a C+, even people who were way above the median on the midterms. Confused. Don't take this class, 32B sucks and Killip is such a nice funny guy but not a great teacher. Better than some math teachers though.

Had Killip for both 32A and 32B. Awesome, funny, engaging lecturer. Goes over the fundamental concepts and proof behind each theorem. I learned a lot from his class. Definitely recommend for a complete overview of multivariable calc. Be aware, midterm one was fair, midterm two was kinda brutal.

Killip is the GOAT.

I enjoyed 32B with Killip. He explained things well, homework was reasonable and helpful, and his tests were pretty fair. His lectures were good enough to motivate me to not miss class. I would recommend taking a class with him if you are on the fence.

Professor Killip made 32B enjoyable for me. He made the concepts simple, and his lectures were easy to follow. I like that he would always create one problem on the homework, because it usually really tested your understanding of the material. The first midterm was easy, the second midterm was even easier, but the final was ridiculously hard. Thank god for curves. I always found his jokes very funny, which made a 9 am class much more bearable. If you have the opportunity to take any math class with Professor Killip, do it! You won't be disappointed.

Killip is an excellent professor. He's probably the best math professor/teacher I've ever had. He's really good at simplifying the material so that the concepts are easier to grasp. He uses metaphors and such using simple-life terms so that it's easier to understand. His tests are really fair; the 1st midterm had a 70% average although the test was pretty straightforward, but with a few tricky things. Second midterm was way easier with a 90% average, but the final was harder with a 65% average. But the thing about Killip is he gives really good partial credit, so write something down even if you run out of time. He's really helpful during office hours, and those are especially useful for homework problems, which mostly consists of book problems but also some of his own problems, which can kind of get difficult at times. Needless to say, he's brilliant and went to Caltech for grad school, so he's pretty freaking smart/helpful. If you're taking any math class, take him.

Killip was a pretty good math teacher
His lectures were very organized and understandable
He really excels at simplifying the material and making
it more accessible to students. His tests were really straightforward as well
and as long you did the homework, the exams werent too bad

GO to his office hours. Killip is actually a pretty brilliant guy
and it really shows during his office hours.
I definitely recommend him as math professor

One of the best professors I've had - he explains things thoroughly and slow enough. His notes are great, and he is extremely eager to help students in office hours.

I don't think Killip could have been much better at lecturing about math. He actually gave us a narrative for the logic behind each new concept so that there was always some background for us to understand it with. My notes always seemed to make sense when I read them, unlike the notes I have taken from other math professors who seem to scribble a bunch of things on the board incoherently. Tests were fair to challenging; the 2nd midterm was too easy, (average 90%) so he made the final kind of hard. But if you can grasp that all the concepts are pretty much analogs to each other, you'll like the class, as it is intellectually satisfying and kinda fun (well at least for me). Also, he made us become familiar with hyperbolic sine and cosine, which was annoying.
