One cool guy. He is hot.

not a bad professor..easy grader...gav extra ten points for final....

always willing to answer questions in class. even if the topic was covered more than once, he's willing to make sure everyone understands it before the final. yeah, the class is a little fast-paced and some of what is said will go over one's head, but overall, he's a great math professor. take him if you are strong in math.

hw is not checked but you have to do it in order to pass. he goes over them and addresses problems. sometimes he can go faster than you expect, but you have to just ask him and he will bring you up to date.

kinda hard but better than barone and gordon

He is alittle better than barone but not a whole lot

True he is better than barone but exams are hard, even though he is nice, but nice is not everything in life

The person below me writes the same SH&^$, every time Prof Howard is a far person. The second exam was a nice exam. It wasn't very easy also was not very hard. Many people received A's and B's of coarse every course has idiots that will recieve below 60's. The world is made up2 types of people, normal people and dumb people.(ie below 60)its true

Very helpful in trying to make you understand what he is talking about. Although he does not collect hw, it helps a lot on the daily quizes that he gives out. Most of the time he goes on to proofing a formula as a opposed to giving you the formula and letting you memorize it. 3 Exams, quiz at least once a week, and a final.

He makes the most out of a course that is badly managed by the department. Goes through the review manual thoroughly, which is a big help when the final comes around. In-class tests vary from extremely predictable to quite tricky, so stay on your toes.

A pleasure to be one of your students prof Howard your the best.

I took him for a 2 credit seminar to prepare students for the Actuarial Science Exam in Probability. We didn't have a textbook, just worked sample test problems. He was very helpful in explaining how to approach problems. We didn't have tests, just graded on attendance and participation, but I'm sure for a full-fledged class, he'd be a good choice.

Theres no words to describe his class, words wont even due justice. After taking this class you will have a new perspective on math.. REally shows you how the problems work... Most bang for your buck and he curves too so all good

Great Professor. He will review all the material and you will end up learning a lot.

He clearly is a very intelligent man, who knows math well. Unfortunately, his lectures were very theoretical with lots of proofs. Three class tests (two were very difficult), and the final which was extremely fair. He did curve though. I was shocked and really pleased to get an A-. If you love proofs and theory, by all means take him!

Great professor, helpful. Wants everyone to uderstand it and will help if not. Gives extra points. Down to earth guy.

Great Professor. Goes the extra mile to help students understand and pass. He's not easy but neither is the subject. I can't stand calc but was very happy to have him teach it. He gets to know the students and makes them participate but that's how you learn. Take hiM!

He knows his stuff but the problem is the class curriculum and the moron who designed it. He sadly has to deal with a horrible curriculum and horrible textbook.

If you are serious about probability - don't hesitate. Definitely one of the best professors I have seen. Rigorously proves and shows every single step. 100% competent in what he is teaching, which is unfortunately not so common in our school. If all professors where like him in Baruch, it would have been another MIT. A really really good professor

Loved his class! learned A LOT! The only thing I didn't like was that we had too many proofs. Perhaps, the class would have been more interesting if we had done more applications. The exams are very hard even though they are take home exams. Overall, a very good and knowledgeable prof. Liked his class very much. Take him if u like probability.

He gives 3-4 take home exams which are very difficult and usually consist of proofs. If you are not excellent in math, do not take this class because you will have a hard time. However, he is willing to help you if you ask him for help. The textbook was never used so don't bother buying it. Also too many proofs and not enough applied math.

Great professor! He goes through the material fast though, so you have to be able to follow. He is extremely competent at what he does and he is also very good at explaining concepts. Gives 3 in class exams and gives lowest weight to your lowest exam, so he is a very fair grader. Attendance is mandatory. Take him if you want to learn!

He is an extremely competent professor. Explains material well, but moves fast, so you gave to keep up. Very fair grader,gives lowest weight to your lowest scores.Attendance is mandatory, if you miss classes he will drop you. Very helpful outside of class as well if you ask for it.Great professor! Enjoyed the class and learned a lot.Take him!

A very very interesting, useful and challenging course. You will learn a lot. This course will complete your knowledge of probability theory.

Good teacher. Actually cares about helping you. Gives practice exams which have extremely similar questions as the real tests.

He is the Best Math Professors. He does not spend a lot of time on explanations of simple algebra problems and goes right away to the most complicated problems. That is great for students who understand math very well. He does not make you waiste your time. He really makes you love his class and Math overall.

Professor Howard is great. It's true that he is a better mathematician than a teacher, but he gives lowest weight to lower scores and is very helpful. I started off with a 76 because it was my first time taking a Math class seriously but I pulled myself up to an A, not getting lower than a 97 since then. His practice exams are very useful. Not hard

Very good professor, explains very clear as long you know algebra; he wont lose his time explaining something you have to know. he gives you three in class exams and the fourth s your hw and attendance. As long you pay attention in class and do your hw; class wont be hard. I recomend him. I like how he teaches.

Very knowledgeable professor. Tries to tailor the course to the students based on what they want to learn. Cares about students and their progress. Difficult but rewarding. 4135 is theory mixed with application, and it was a very interesting course. 4125 (Stochastic) is just theory, so I wouldn't recommend that it. But definitely take Monte Carlo!

Very passionate mathematician, and bright professor. Pay attention and you'll understand the material. Be on time!

He's not bad. Do all your homework, attend class, and do not be late. If you do all of this, he will give you extra points on the exams. He's a nice guy and is willing to help, but he tells a lot of corny jokes in class. He also says he has mild dyslexia, so he makes mistakes on the board sometimes. But overall, I think he's a pretty decent prof.

prof howard is the best type of professor to have for a higher level math course. this was his first time teaching a 3000 level course and its obv that his teaching style is best for people who intend to further pursue math. he's v knowledgable, so do the homework as he gets most of his test questions from there. also DON'T be late

Borel- Cantelli for Life!

Don't take him if your time for this course is limited.

Very challenging class probably the hardest one I've taken at Baruch thus far. Don't even bother trying to do the problems he assigns by yourself. You will need to work in groups. Overall, it was a good experience. You will also know what 'doubly stochastic' and 'Borel-Cantelli' mean by heart by the end of it. :D

Each class is essential (unless you magically understand math textbooks)! Prof is into higher-level math, so expect him to get excited in going off tangent. Be prepared for really quick lessons. Do hw probs (about 20 questions per class) because many will be tested.

One of the the best professors Baruch has to offer. He will prepare you for quantitative interviews without you even expecting it. Be prepared to work a a lot, these classes aren't for the weak. He goes into a lot of detail and does his best to explain how things work. Work as a group, its your only way to survive. You will get your money's worth.

Great class. You learn a lot of things from a wide variety of subjects and actually apply it. This taken together with MTH 4125 is probably the best sequence of courses at Baruch. He's also a great professor -- he tries his best to make sure you understand the material since it's quite tough. Be prepared to study a decent amount.

Don't miss the test review days! 3 tests that he will curve and up to 5 extra points if you do webwork, per test. His tests are incredible prep for the final and he gives a practice final with detailed paragraph explanations for each problem. He put a lot of care and effort into giving students the tools they need to pass. B- in 2003, A in 2205!

Straight up b0$$. If you are weak minded do not take this class. He will literally make you say what the hell am I learning. Teaches very random things, very difficult ,time consuming projects. Dont take him and another math class. BUT DEAR GOD DID I LEARN A LOT. Howard is a descended from the numerical method GODS.

You have to be comfortable learning a new programming language and coding in it to really do well in this class. If you have issues with your code, he will help you solve it. I found the lectures to be rather useless. All you need to know is in his textbook which he wrote (very good in my opinion).

Great experience.

I would take him again. Amazing professor, very knowledgable in the topic--sometimes goes on mathematical tangents beyond the scope of the class, but still interesting. Pretty fair on grading and gives extra pts for diligent WebAssign work. Prepares you well for exams too. Honestly, I could have gotten an A, but I just didn't pull my weight.

Really cool guy, really cares about the topic and explaining it to the class. lectures are definitely hard to understand during class but the notes you take are really gonna help you when you do the webassign homework. Webassigns only count for extra credit but make sure you do them to really understand the material and do better on the tests.

One of the most amazing professors I have taken, and data analysis has to be the most useful class I can imagine. I hope to remember the theory of this class and continue to find ways of applying it after I graduate.

Honestly the best professor I've had. I took MTH 4125 and 4135 with him and learned a ton. Really easygoing, funny guy and has very clear lectures. He'll explain things that are confusing and genuinely cares that all his students understand the material. He gives you exactly what you need to know for the test ahead of time, makes life way easier.

organized and straightforward professor. He is open to answering questions on homework and class lessons. gives review sheets for every exam which are similar to the test and lets his students use a small cheat sheet. Just do the homework and practice the review sheet over and over again and you'll do great. He gives extra credit on some exams

To survive and do well in the class you must make it ur #1 priority. Go to office hours for help, make friends with the students who make the class seem easy, thoroughly read the textbook and the practice questions he gives for the midterms. Also study your conceptual points too. Picky grader so answer questions thoroughly too.

Extremely knowledgeable and accomplished professor, but classes can be pretty dry. Expect him to spend the whole class writing proofs with minimal examples. His tests are not hard though, and they closely reflect the review sheet.

Professor Howard cares about his BSFM students! He's very accessable outside of class and offers thoughtful feedback!

Good teacher! Easy to follow voice and has a nice teaching style. 3 test worth 20% each, nice curve, 1 departmental final (not curved), and 10% worth for homework. Pretty lenient if you try in the class and are somewhat good at Pre calc. But fair and generous teacher!
