Tufts University: MATH018 - Honors Calculus III - Mathematics - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccess
Zbigniew Nitecki | MATH018 - Honors Calculus III | Mathematics2006-07-06

Review:
This course was a lot of fun and incredibly interesting for someone interested in abstract mathematics. Prof. Nitecki uses the course to build a network of ideas, by proving the major theorems of multi-variate calculus. There is plenty of problem solving as well, but this is mainly a venue to demonstrate understanding of the concepts. Most of the lectures consisted of trying (but not always succeeding!) in proving the theorems in the book.

Prof. Nitecki is very interested in his students' progress, and is easily accessible outside of class. I stayed after class a number of times to go over a concept that went over my head, which happened fairly often but usually worked out in the end. I highly recommend this course to anyone contemplating a major in mathematics or with an interest in abstract math.

Workload:
The workload for this class was HEAVY. The class meets three times a week, for 1:15 each time. Additionally, there are nightly assignments that frequently take 2 hours. However, if you can put the time in, it is a highly rewarding and interesting experience. I especially encourage you to work with other members of the class on homework assignments.

Lastly, the textbook that was used in 2006 was not the best at explaining concepts, so the lectures are very important and look to Nitecki for help.
