He's so dreamy :)

Calculus will never be the same w/out him

This guy is the best!

for someone who hates calc, this guy is the best!!

Was a great prof: tried very hard to help us learn...good sense of humour.

I look foward to going to his class, MATH 137 with Kannapan on the other hand.

Very enthusiastic and helpful.

He's the best.... million times better than ****mings

Any amazing professor. The kind of professor that actually cares about teaching

helps you find a seat when you come late, voluntarily marks tests, always funny!

Runs the tutorials himself, and helps with other courses, too! Just incredible!

Great prof. Very smart and helpful

Undoubtedly the best Prof in the school, he holds amazing review sessions

His teaching skills are on the far right of the bell curve - amazing professor

Amazing prof-- best wake up call...can't believe he's only 24!!!!

Great guy...great friend....loves to teach

Is far more enthusiastic and eager to teach than ANY of the tenured profs.

He increased my Calculus mark by 10 percent just with the review sessions!

Good lectures, kind of a geek.(prime factorizes numbers while jogging) Good prof

tke this guy in the winter term, coz he handles it then and makes it alot easier

wicked proff!

He's all about the proofs, but he's cool, great teaching style. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!

Very good teacher. Enthusiastic, fun, and clear.

The BEST out there

xcellent prof n a good guy!

The only way I'm taking calc 3 is if he's teaching it in the fall.

He can do any calcuation in his head !!

Great prof. Wish I had him for my other math classes.

The best teacher ever. He will even help you in the classes he doesnt teach.

genius!!! his classes are always packed so bring your own chair :) great prof!

Most helpful teacer I've had

slow lectures, very picky on exams, smart, should be teaching math 999, not 235

Excellent teacher! Explains very well, and speed is perfect. Join his class fast

Absolutely wonderful -- excellent explanations & interesting classes

Great prof, really cares about student. Excellent explanations and lectures.

he's awesome man, best math prof out there

Great Prof. Knows his students. Very helpful.

Oh yeah, how can we pass without him?

Big E is the man!!! He is wicked smart and his contests help business deferrals.

He's very helpful and friendly. He is the best teacher I've ever had!!!

The best Math teacher in Waterloo!

He'll sent you a Happy New Year e-mail, see how nice he is!!!

The guy should be cloned. Really good.

He's so good! Algebra's actually easy, thanks to Ian.. =)

He's the best prof in the faculty!

Ian is friendly and actually remembers who you are years down the road. Ask him to play the piano!

Ian is so wonderful!!He's very interesting prof, and makes lectures to enjoyable! He's the best in terms of the clarity in teaching, sense of humour, and interaction with class!!

He's a great teacher!! and funny, too^^

very helpful prof, he knows his stuff! Don't miss his review session!

Ian is an example of what all profs should strive for. He's extremely knowledgeable and his lectures are always clear. Going to class is simply a pleasure. If you ever see him on your timetable, jump for joy!

Gotta LOVE Ian! His lectures are so clear, algebra actually makes sense!

He is so nice and responsible.....He is the best Math prof in waterloo!!!!!!!!!

He just looks like a university student. Everyone expects to go his class.Hope to take his class again!

He's one of the best profs on campus. Profs should take pointers from this guy. Actually made linear algebra fun. Had a blast!!

He's a good prof. Explain stuff well, good voice, not boring. However I don't agree with people who say he's REALLY nice. He is not when it comes to 1-1 interaction. But still, his lectures are worth attending.

Excellent teaching quality, enthusiasm, and knowledge of course material, and beyond course material. Consistent explanations, and logical progressions on the board during lectures. Inspires a sense of fun, in mathematics

best prof ever~ he's really funny in class and explains thing very clearly in lectures.

I had him for both 135 and 235. AWESOME lectures, well worth going (it was ALWAYS packed in there). Everything made perfect sense, though the final exams had unexpectedly low marks. This guy needs some kind of award.

This prof is by far one of the best I've had. I didn't realize just how fun linear algebra could be. Awesome!!

Yeah, he's enthusiastic about math...but that's all he seems to be enthusiastic about! He insists he's normal though!

Best prof there is.

THEEE BEST!!!!!

He is funny and organized overall one of the best profs i've had

he's fantastic. best prof i've ever had.

Excellent approach to teaching. Says stuff like: you might not get this...this is the hardest thing to understand...don't worry about this, it won't be on the exam, etc.

easy lecture!!

I sat in on Mr V's class instead of goingto my own because he's a great teacher. He makes al the concepts seem very easy, and his class scored 10% higher than the class i should have been in on the midterm.

Best. Prof. Ever. Thanks a lot!

Very nice prof, easy to understand. Go to his class and you'll get a higher mark! He remembers everyone's name! I don't know how he does it...

he is the best prof. i had this term

Explains complex concepts so clearly that anybody can understand them. Very helpful in and out of class. There's no wonder he got a Distinguished Professor award.

The Best Prof!! He does so much for his students. He's always in his office to help, he has an e-mail list for his students, and a little website for extra proofs/examples/clarifications, though hardly any are needed since his lectures are _crystal_ clear

EXCELLENT prof EVER. He rocks!

I don't see why so many of my fellow classmates think that his lessons were so *easy* to comprehend..He's an **extremely** caring, and *very helpful* teacher; his lessons aren't like tofu, though they are quite good, in retrospect.

Best Professor Ever!!!!! He's took time and got now his students personally. only prof that knew me by name. Always smiling and willing to help. I absolutely loved him and his class.

Vanderburgh is the best math prof in all of UW! He is insanely smart (can do extremely complex calculations in his head with scarey accuracy). He really CARES about his students! I only wish that he taught ACTSCI . . .

Best prof for linear algebra course - not for calc though. He explains his stuff from a students perspective which is so much easier to comprehend. Prepares you well for the exam. Long live the review sessions.

He is the best ever prof I have ever had. He so extremely intelligent yet he explains in the way ordinary students can understand clearly. He provides a lot of help outside class. He cares, and he is super in teaching! He's crazily talented in music too!

The best prof ever. Explains everything very well. Makes the class very enjoyable. The only math class which I really enjoyed. The only prof who knew me even by my last name (which is really hard). Very good pianist too :)

Awesome, awesome professor! Excellent!

Better then other math 135 proffs.

Excellent excellent prof. Easy-going and humourous, and is one of the very few profs who actually try to make the lectures interesting for students. Waking up 2 hours earlier is definitely worth it. Go IAN!

The best prof I've had at UW! Cares about the students and explains concepts in an easy-to-understand way. Funny and enthusiastic! He cares enough about his students to have review sessions before exams! GOOD JOB!

Any prof who can get 150% attendance at 8:30 in the morning deservves the highest rating possible. Knows me by name, despite the fact I've only attended about 5 lectures. Brilliant. Review sessions are a lifesaver.

Ian is the best prof ever, helped me out soo much in M135 for the exam, excellent.

Awesome awesome prof! Very nice and very helpful.

amazing prof, always helpful, explains everthing amazingly, (i know that's not a word), uses great exampels, and has a math sense of humor, what ever that means

By far among the few of the best first year lecturers in Mathematics. Very good at teaching and is easy to talk to. And he remembers your name!

Best Teacher EVER!

AMAZING!!!

WHAT A HOTTIE HEHEHEHEHEHE

Even though I am not supposed to be in his section, I attend his class anyway because he is simply a great professor. Clear explanations, great examples, always hold review session before midterms and final, smile and has a sense of humour. Good job Ian! Hopefully I get his class again.

I got respect for this prof. Very clear and concise lectures. Excellent job. Marks fair enough for first year mathematics. Take his courses if you get the chance.

he is THE BEST prof in the school, period. very helpful, make good math jokes. only prof i know who has class where students were standing just to try to learn the material (seats all full).

He is the best prof I ever have. He really concerns about his students and teaching. Clear notes and lectures. He teaches tutorials by himself.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME

Great Teacher. The best in Waterloo.

love him. great guy.

the best prof ever! show me at least one student who doesn't love him! his lectures are ALWAYS so full that people come to lectures early in order to get a spot! Awesome teacher! Good job Ian!

He was a great lecturer and professor, but I was just an idiot and skipped lots of classes! Don't skip classes!

go get your schedule switched so that you have him as a teacher. Best prof ever. Really helpful, and funny.

SO HOT!

Definitely the best math professor i have seen so far. He is simply awesomeeeeee...!

simply the best professor Ive ever had. our classroom is always full cuz people from other sections come to our class. strongly recommended.

Simply the best math prof. in waterloo..!

Amazing proff. I went to class an hour earlier to go to his lecture. He knows his stuff. Great guy. Very nice.

He was by the best math prof in my first year... If you dont understand what he says and you're a math major, switch majors cause his explanations can't get any better... Very helpful, he remembers your name too. Also, hes very funny.

Amazing math professor!! He knows exactly how to explain things so students understand! His classes are always full, so get there early!!

If i could marry him, i wud .....he is sooooo good and he makes every problem SO EASY it is not even funny !!! ANYWAY he is the best and i will MISS HIMM

such an amazing prof! this guy's a genius and hilarious! he literally remembers everyone's names. makes the course so easy to understand, everything on the midterms/final were fair game, if you kept up with the work that is. He also sends Problem of the Day via email to his class. I'd definately take his class again

yo! he was THE best teacher! i used to have a different algebra teacher, but i switched into his class cuz he was the one in the tutorials and it was so easy to get what he was saying! awesome! the only thing that was slightly weird was when he'd wear shorts--it was wintertime! but he's funny anda good teacher, so its all good

taken two classes with him! he rocks! basically he makes me hate other profs...he's incomparable!

he's such a great prof!!

one of the best profs and teachers ive ever seen, talented and has a sense of humour. He is the coach of UW olympic team, which is really a remarkable achievement considering his age.

The greatest pro I never seen. Cute guy!

Should win an award for being so kind and friendly! His lectures wake me up in the morning! Ian is what all professors in all courses should strive to be!

great prof! really good lectures :)

He's def. one of the best profs i've ever had. His class was at like 8:30 in the morning and there were always ppl sitting on the stairs even after we moved to a bigger classroom... Honestly I didn't pay much attention in class, but his notes helped a lot when it came to final and midterms.

He is funny

HE IS SO GOOD. Even thou he is not my prof, I go to his lectures instead of Uldis Celmins'. He is the man.

he is way too good...very clear and helpful... no wonder he's the couse coordinator, and he's not even tat old, so ya, great accomplishment... i love going to his lectures, even tho i'm not supposed to go to his section... and he knows people's names! tat's so amazing, especially when his classes are always so huge... great prof, great person...

No Comments

ya we should make a facebook group about him...cant let Larry Smith of econ take all fame XD

very interesting lectures.....what a clever man

Best Teacher I've ever had although I wasn't actually supposed to be in his class. Too good.

very good prof.....and also a handsome, funny guy~~~worth to take his lecture~~~

excellent , simply superb

wow...great prof

Ian vanderburgh is the greatest professor to ever teach anywhere, anytime. He's helpful, and makes everything so clear. he's a huge nerd but that's all part of his charm. This was my favourite class taken to date!

quality.. if only i can wake up at 7:30 so i get there with a seat... and if only i could wake up in time for the class..

I wish I could wake up early enough to go to his class! I only have him for tutorials and that's the only reason why I go to them. He makes everything so clear and understandable.

He's the best!

not a student of his class, but attended his tutorials every once in a while, he explains theories clearly and makes laughable jokes every once in a while

I wasnt even in his class but went to EVERY lecture of his! and so did a lot of ppl! So many ppl attended his lectures that ppl ended up on the floor or in the hall! Every1 knows he is an amazing prof. He explains everything so well, SO funny, & amazingly smart! He does 735^39 and long division in his head! Overall, he made my term! Best prof EVER

yeyeye

By the Principle of Ian VanderBurgh....need I say more? This man is the bomb!

Absolutely awesome! :)

The most incredible prof on this campus! =)

Possibly the GOD of MATH 135 (the only onr of his classes that i've been to) - Absolutely hilarious, makes algebra super easy, classe are fun to go to.

The VanderBurgh effect: students want to wake-up and get to class early for an 8:30am section... need I say more?

Damn good.

The only prof Ive had who made the class so interesting, I would have rather gone to class than teach it to myself! Amazing people skills.

Ian is absolutely wonderful! He's really patient with questions... if you have the slightest chance to take his class, take it! It's well worth the extra work!

Everyone was saying how great of a prof. he was but I didn't know until I took this class... and yeah, definitely one of the best!

his class is the only class i even consider going to at 8:30 in the morning... although i still fail at waking up....

Ian was by far the best professor I had this semester. He is extremely knowledgeable, really teaches the material well, and he's pretty funny at times. I actually really enjoyed the class just because of how great of a prof Ian was. I would definitely recommend his classes

Ian is my GOD!! Not going to his classes should definitely be a crime! He was so nice and helpful. When our class clapped when he told us he was engaged he blushed, funniest thing ever. I think we should work on cloning Ian multiple times to teach all math classes!!

What else can I say? Read all his "fans'" comments, they're all true. :) GO TO HIS CLASS!!!! I was inspired to go to his 8:30am class just to hear lecture!! Teaches BETTER than the textbook--no need to buy course material as long as you attend all his lectures! He's SO friendly, and will know your name--such a young course coordinator!(only 30!)

Absolutely amazing professor. If you can take any course with him, DO IT.

One of a kind!

BEST PROF EVER!!!

He is one of the best profs in u of w I think. I have taken math 135 and Pmath 340 with him. His class was very interesting and not very hard to follow. I strongly suggest him to be your first Math 135 prof if you are a new math students in u of w.

Just awesome, period!

The side-effect of having Ian as a first-year course prof is that I am now forever comparing other profs to him and none is even remotely comparable (well, perhaps with the exception of Joe West). Also, he seems to be an all-around accomplished guy. Hell, he plays piano for our school choir and runs marathon annually, what else can he NOT do?

He was our substitute teacher for a couple of math137 lectures, and he was awesome, as always. I actually chose to come to UW partially because of him! I was in a week long math seminar at uw during grade 12 and luckily had him as our lecturer. That's how good he is!!

One of my favourite prof!

What I like most about Vanderburgh is that he explains everything very clearly while also keeping the interest of students who know the material. He's funny, very intelligent and makes it a joy to be in class. Also, even though he's a busy guy, he's always helpful if you ask. Absolutely the best prof I have.

Ian is just great! The best professor I've had. Very clear, organized and engaging.

Really amazing prof. Didn't like the course too much but he was great.
