Ilya Kofman

Prefacing this by saying I'm not thrilled with my grade/wish I had done better in this class than I probably will end up doing. But despite a probable less than ideal grade, I enjoyed this class with Professor Kofman. Was the material hard? Yes. Did I not put in as much time studying for this class as I should have? Yes. Did I feel that Professor Kofman offered plenty of resources/genuinely wanted us to do well? Also Yes. I spent so much time during shopping week trying to find a calculus III section and, relative to the other professors teaching Calc III this semester, Professor Kofman was a standout. He clearly knows the material, he's humorous, and you can tell that he wants you to do well. He does go fast with the material but frequently stops to ask if anyone has questions. He refers to concepts that he can fairly assume you know, but you may find you need to brush up on some calc basics from time to time (ie derivatives, trig).

Hiding the hurt, hiding the pain, Hiding the tears that fall like rain. Saying I'm fine when I'm anything but. This Calc class in my schedule rips at my gut.

Terrible class. Unreasonable amount of homework (both WebAssign and deliverable), midterms harder than the practice exams, professor goes over everything super fast and takes for granted that you know and understand a bunch of material that I had never seen in my entire life. Just don't take it. It's not worth it.

She stood on the bridge In silence and fear For the demons of Calc III Had driven her here.

This class was an application of many of the concepts from Calculus I like derivation, integration, and optimization in 3D space.

Math! Main things seemed like parametrization, vectors, conic sections, arc stuff, limits, gradients, and complex numbers. And a good dose of history.

I learned the Calc concepts that were in the syllabus.

I learned about polar coordinates, the gradient, multivariable calculus, three-dimensional geometry, level sets, and the cross product.

a lot about multivariable functions and the utility and application of their rates of change. General calc III

I learned that I did not have the requisite "calculus logic"
