Basically if you can do the homework you can pass the class. I had very hard time keeping up with him. Wasn't very approachable.
Need calculus to better understand cosmology texts by Penrose et al - Prof Dawkins online notes the gift of the century to me (Philosophy 1968). (thank you!)^100
Very clear about explaining, but goes a little fast. Though going through the material a little quicker than desired is to be expected considering the VAST amount that's covered in the course. Do considering this, he is an excellent professor and I'd recommend anyone to take him. If you do poorly in his class, I wouldn't bet it's his fault.
I would like to attend his courses. (My prof is luckly she doesn't have a rating page :-) )I'm so glad I found Paul's online notes.
I'm not a student of his, but someone teaching myself calculus. Paul's online notes are just great, I'm learning a lot. I've been going over integrals, but I can't wait to go over the other sections of his Cal 1 notes, to see if there's something I haven't learned yet or something I could get much better at. Diane, MN
Your notes are very detailed yet easy to understand. Keeep up the good work!
Your online notes are fantastic. I am a PhD student that is presently reading all the calculus notes and differential equation notes. I know for certain I could never have learnt so much in such a short time with out your clear notes. Well done.
I'm a freshman in college in calc 3 and i had the absolute worse highschool calc 1/2 teacher and now my professor is impossible. her homework is hard and tests a nightmare. paul has literally saved my grade! like i've been using him for a year and he's one of the best professors i've ever had and the best math professor by far! keep up the notes!
ONLINE NOTES ARE AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAINNNNNNNNNNGGGGG!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE ALL YOUR CLASSES I AM A MATH MAJOR!!YOUR NOTES AND EXPLANATIONS ARE VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I could not understand half of the material my calc prof is ...well is something - does not EXPLAIN AT ALL!!!! ANYWAY A MILLION THANKS!! I SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT!
I am a Ph.D student and your notes are extremelly helpful! Thanks a lot. Nice job!
He is probably the best professor i have ever had. he prepares you for the real world with real situations. His class is kind of hard but you learn. plus you don't use a text book- he thinks they're priced ridiculously high- his online notes are freakin awesome.
wow i bet this guys classes fill up the first day.thank you so much for devoting your time into making such a wonderful website to help college students everywhere.It's nice that your material is not just available to your students to accesible to everyone!!
Awsome teacher
Thank you Professor Dawkins!!! I'm and Mech. Engineering and Physics double major student and your online notes have saved me more times than I can count!!! I wish we had teachers like you at UNCC!
i am an undergraduate student at Purdue University and ur notes have helped me pass math tests ever since. Thank you . and i hope u keep making more incredible notes like these to help other students like me so please please countinue to do so.
i am a student at miami university, your notes are very very good!!!! thank you so much!!!!!!!!! you must be a genius
I graduated in 1994 with MSEE and almost forgot the thing called Math. Now planning on going back to school for a PhD. And these notes are nothing but gold mine for getting back the lost world....good job indeed...would you please do similar magic for Stochastic Calculus?
Big ups from Aggieland. I am an EE undergrad. thanks for the crystal clear notes, very thorough! and well organized. Thanks you! gonna take differential equations in summer!
I just need to take time to thank you for having your online math notes. My teachers at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham OR recommend them students all the time! They are a great resorce to have! Thanks again!!
Very very good professor. More helpful to me than my high school teachers were. Class is difficult but if you go and pay attention and do the homework you will be fine.
Wonderful job. Very useful for Online knowledge sharing and Good Role-Model. I wish that I would do same like this soon. Long Live Prof. Paul Dawkins. Bye. Ranjith Silva, Sri Lanka.
Welcome to the world of Dawkulus. Can't stress enough.. make friends and work together on homeworks. Do not wait til last minute as most homeworks take a couple days to complete because of difficulty. if you can do the homework you can do the tests. tests are still challenging. Best Math prof on Campus.
Very helpful. Thanks a million!!
I have never taken your class and I am a math teacher myself, and after reviewing his web-page, I thought that I was the only one with such dedication... he is doing an excellent job and his students are lucky to have him!
No book needed. He has excellent notes and old homework on his website that'll save your life the night before homework is due and exams. Very approachable!! Is always willing to listen so stop by his office for help. Although attendance isn't mandatory go to class. You'll fall behind and you might piss him off.
Awesome online notes!! This has been a great supplement to the class text. Thanks a million for the work.
master of his sub
I would never have dreamed that I could understand even the basics of Calculus! The thing that I am most impressed with is that Dr Dawkins has obviously given a lot of thought to how people learn, and has tailored his teaching to insure that the information is understood. I tell everyone to take Calculus from him, or use his website!
Dr. Dawkins is a great teacher! He stresses so much on what you need to learn and what you will need to learn for future references. The semester just started and I'm glad that I am one of his students. Even Pre-Cal teachers tell me that Dr. Dawkins teaches better than themselves. He has an Engineering degree, so he knows what it's like to be in Ca
I have never taken a class with Dr. Dawkins. I am a math major, and I have been using and referencing his online math notes through college algebra, the entire calculus sequence, differential equations etc. I still reference his notes when I need a mental recall. I wore out a card stock copy of his entire set of cheat sheets before having gotten to
Dr. Dawkins is the best math professor I have ever had. His lectures are very clear. Homework is oftentimes a challange, but if you can do the homework you can do the tests. Try to take him for anything he teaches. His online notes are also very helpful.
i go to a uni in wa and you help me pass my first year math unit.
This guy is my savior. I don't even go to Lamar, but I am using "Paul's Online Notes" to get me through Calculus III, because my math teacher is useless. Paul's website is far clearer than my textbook. He should write a textbook. Thanks Paul!
This guy is a god!
Your notes on PDE's helped me alot! Thanks Alot! I wish you could do notes like that for Mathematical Statistics because my teacher right now doesn't seem to know what "learning" means... he thinks we know everything before he teaches us. The book were using (Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis by Rice) is HORRIBLE AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
Dr. Dawkins is awesome. The best math prof I have had so far. I hope I never have to take math from someone else. His lectures are clear, he is always willing to help, and returns tests and hw quickly. I can actually LEARN math from this guy!
His online math website is a godsend.
I am a HS calc teacher (for the first time) and Paul has saved my life. My students love him, too. What a great thing to make all your stuff free and public. Thanks so very much!!
Great web site with superb ebook. Proofs are really clear and comprehensive :)
Universities need more math profs like Paul Dawkins. Although I am against cloning, I would make an exception in this case if the university of saskatchewan could get a clone of him. Paul thank you for your online notes, they are clear, concise and make sense. From a very thankful Canuck
He is a very direct professor, the homework is time consuming but if you can do the homework then you can easily do the test. His online notes and previoius homeworks are extremely helpful. He is very approachable and helpful when you ask for help at his office. If you can do the homework and the old tests, you are golden. He is amazing nonetheless
I don't have this professor, nor have I ever taken any of his classes. I came across his online notes and let me tell you, it has been tremendously helpful! I thought my professor was good at explaining material, but for the more complex concepts in Calculus, I found myself still struggling. Thankfully, I found Paul's online notes. Thank you, Paul.
Wow, apparently I'm not the only one who absolutely loves his website - I just wish he had more now that I'm entering my upper division classes!
I don't go to school here but Paul's online notes are amazing. They have helped me through Matrix Algebra and Differential Equations II. I wish there were more professors that would explain each step of the problem solving process. Thanks Paul!
I too do not attend Lamar, yet have been using Paul's notes. His notes are very clear and really make calculus less complicated. If he is able to teach so much with just his notes, I can only imagine how extremely helpful he probably is as a real professor.
I have not had this professor, but like many others found his online notes to be a life saver. I had an incredibly lame Calc1 professor at my university, found Paul's notes and basically taught myself calculus and got an A in the class. Taking Calc2 soon and am looking forward to more of Paul's notes!
one of the best...should write a book
The most knowledgable and helpful professor i have ever had...Should be published
awesome dude!!!
Great teacher, homework is a little difficult, but other than that, if you can do his homework, then you can pass the test. Good teacher overall. Very clear and has lots and lots of great notes to look at. Great teacher, maybe a little harder than the others though
Wasn't in his class, but found his notes for Calc. His "Cheat Sheet" on calc was extremely helpful for the AP Exam (got a 5!!!!). In college I'm also using his linear algebra notes, since they are a prerequisite at the University that I am currently attending. They are also super clear and concise.
homework is hard and every week... he explains excellent!!! and you learn.. believe it or not...
The prolific notes that Prof. Dawkins provides are simply outstanding and more importantly, unselfish.
Awesome teacher. This guy really knows his stuff. has a strong interest to help us succeed, but he wants us to earn it.
Defintily one of the best math professors out there i definitly recommend him if you can he will go out of his way to help you as long as you can meet him half way and apply as much effort as possible, he will help you, and yo8u do learn calculus, the homeworks make you get better so by the test you are guaranteed to make a B, so definitly the best
Never took a class with him, but his notes have saved me on numerous occasions. A big thanks from Canada.
he is very good teacher
Followed his notes to relearn calculus for my work. His notes have much more clarity than some of the commercial textbooks I have. Why are outstanding teachers so hard to find like Prof Dawkins ?
Great teacher! He knows his stuff and makes you learn it too!
He is literally the best calculus teacher on this planet. After taking him for three semesters I have the firmest grasp of calculus. Also if you put the effort into the HW, you will do extremely well.
I don't have him as a professor nor have I had him, but his notes alone have helped me so much! I wish so much he was my professor!
best ever in the world
I'm not ur student but ur website is really helpful.. my math professor is really sucks, dunno how he get phd so I prefer study own my own.LOL.
Thank you Prof. Dawkins for posting your calculus class notes online. I don't attend your university, but I'm taking calculus 2 right now and I have a terrible professor who 1. Does not teach 2. is very disorganized 3. is not prepared for class lectures 4. constantly does problems wrong on the board and then says the solutions manual is wrong.
He's not my professor, but I use his website and it is extremely helpful! Thank you, professor, Dawkins for making your website available on the internet. I've been very impressed with how well he explains the material. His website is very detailed and helpful. Too bad he doesn't teach at my college. Well, Lamar University is very lucky to have him
Not a student, but his site is extremely helpful. Thanks.
online notes a terrific aid in course taken elsewhere. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Made the difference btwn passing and failing for me.
totally awesome. difficult homework that you have to keep up with, but you actually learn the stuff imagine that? dawkins = favorite math teacher ever
I'm not his student but I've used the notes for Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3, Linear Algebra, and currently Differential Equations... and all I have to say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
Student in Mass just saying thanks for the online notes (I have a terrible calc 1 prof.). Only wish I found them when there wasn't only 2 weeks left in the semester.
Not a student but very helpful online notes. They helped get me through Calc 3 and Differential Equations. THANKS!
his site is awesome. too bad i found it today, five days before the AP test.
Superb!
He knows how to tackle students in a good manner.
Non student, but have been using his online notes for Calc III.. just wish I had found these earlier. Extremely helpful, and a must have for these higher level math classes.
I'm not a student, but I've been using his online notes for Calc 2 and they have helped me pass my tests for MY class! I plan on using his notes for Calc 3 as well as Linear Algebra. Thank you Mr. Dawkins -- you're a grade-saver!
Exceptional notes. Good examples, clarity in exposition. Very useful notes, thanks!
Paul Dawkins Rocks. His online notes are better and more useful than the actual class with an actual professor that I am taking at a different school.
I really liked the online Calculus III notes. They're very useful for teaching yourself.
I have taken Dr. Dawkins for every class that he teaches--Calc I, II, III and Diff EQ. I can definitely vouch for the fact that he is one of the best professors I've known. He takes pride in his teaching and is very passionate about his students. I loved his class, even though I could never quite make a 100 on one of his tests.
Not actually in his class, but his notes saved my grade, Thanks Dawkins!
he is who im taking for all calculus...all classes around his. hustle to get into his class tho. everyone wants a piece
He's the best for me. even his homework :( hehe
Dawkins is, hands down, the best pofessor I have ever taken. His class is hard and requires a lot of work, but if you are willing to put in the time then you will definitely benefit.
I had him for cal2, cal3, and diffy q. He's pretty easy: hw is difficult (but you can go to the students tab, home pg, archives tab, select your class and select a year and hw set you can figure it out or just go ask for help), exams are really really easy compared to hw (ask your classmate trust me someone has at least one old exam)
His online notes are great for reviewing concepts and working through examples. I managed to review Calculus III in only a few days thanks to these notes.
Fav math teacher ever!!! must go to class and do homework no book required
Very good online note
His notes are one of the best things to ever happen in my life.
HOME WORK- HARDEST THING YOULL EVER DO , TEST - DO THE HOMEWORK TEST ARE AVERAGE NV MADE BELOW AN 85 . NEED ANY HELP TALK TO HIM IN HIS OFFICE. THE MAN LOVES MATH AND WHAT HE DOES SO HE IS THE BEST
I've taken Dr. Dawkins for Cal II, and I have advice for you: TAKE HIM! The guy is an amazing teacher. Yes, his homework maybe a little difficult, but he's wanting you to actually use your brain! His tests are relatively easy compared to the homework. If you are willing to simply study and put forth the effort(imagine that!), an A is attainable!
good work
His notes saved my life. Thank you Dawkins!
Excellent notes. If his notes are this clear and concise...just imagine how much clearer it will be in person!!
Took him for CalII/Diff Eq If I hadn't had such an bad CalI teacher I probably would have done better in his class. Do your homework, study together, ask him for extra problems if you're having doubts about whether you understand the material. If you go to class, take notes, and do your assignments, you should easily make it out with a B or better.
Wow, his notes are wonderful.
Dawkins, you just saved my GPA! I have read through all of your Math Cheat Sheets, Common Math Mistakes Sheets and How to study Math sheets. I am a Physics Major in West Virgina, I have been struggling this semester to follow my instructor for Calculus One. Your notes just changed the rest of my semester. Thanks so much!
Your online notes are AMAZING! Have been using them since high school and now I'm in college and they are still so incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Very helpful
I made an A in both calc2 and calc3 because of your notes
Hi is really very helpful and I believe that he is really in love with teaching...
Ur notes is simply awesome. Ur notes are a very gud professor. I thank u very much fr tis..))
Going to class every day is a must, but he makes learning the materials super EASY. His HW is /hard/ but the tests are a easier. If you're having trouble understanding his notes are /wonderful/ online with examples or HW from previous years.
I actually go to McGill University but Dawkins has still helped me through half of my math courses with his online notes alone. If you're reading this Paul, thank you so freaking much! I seriously don't know if I would have passed calc 3 or ODE's without your notes! You are 100 times better than any prof here!
Awesome notes, I don't take any of your courses but your notes helped me validate Calc III and DIFF EQ. coming into freshman year of college
His notes were indispensible and helped me get an A in Calculus.
Although i had a different professor, dawkin's notes helped a ton. I do, however, have him for Cal 2.
I have never taken a class from Mr. Dawkins however his notes are awesome. I have used them for several classes and currently using them for Calculus II. Thanks so much Paul!!!
I am taking a linear algebra course at Princeton University, and I have to confess that I have found his online notes supremely helpful in understanding new material. Thank you so much for taking the time to make all this information available!
I wish I could take him every semester! He's so helpful and very good at explaining the material. He'll spend time with you personally if you need his help. Great professor!!
Pauls notes are legit. Helped me get through Calc II and currently helping me get through Calc III. Props brah
Paul's notes are best.
I live in UK and Paul's online notes are fantabulous, his approach towards any problem is extremely easy. May God bless him for his excellent contribution in free online knowledge.
His online notes are fabulous. I cant imagine how good he would be in class if his notes teach better than my present teacher.
His online notes were legendary
His notes makes Math more fun and does not make the mind complicated.
PERFECT... literally perfect in everything...
WOW, This guy is a Genius at teaching Math. Stuff I never understood before has become easy thanks to his approach!!
This guy is AMAZING. I've never known any math teacher who could communicate abstract ideas so clearly and compassionately with students who are new to them. He doesn't dumb it down, either, he just knows how to generate understanding. I wish all teachers could be like Paul.
Good lad out to make people better off A+ for him
Paul's online notes are on a different level! His discussions and examples there are extremely comprehensive and insightful.
I am a Mathematics instructor and tutor. I refer all of my students to Paul's Notes as an accurate, understandable and invaluable resource for Algebra and Calculus studies. Thank you for all you have done!
I just took Calculus II with Dr. Dawkins. It was a very positive experience. He taught at a high level, but he kept everything manageable with very good communication of concepts. His class is a lot of work, but it is necessary to properly learn the material. As long as you commit to keeping up with your work, it is an awesome class.
This dude's literally the bomb. Saved my college career with those online calc notes. Used to hate math with a passion, now I love it. Don't even go to Lamar, never even heard of it. But that school's instantly held at a higher esteem for me because of Dr. Dawkins. God bless this guy, wish all profs were like him.
Best professor ever. Great teaching style and online notes. If you put in the work, you'll be amazed how easy Calculus can be
You are amazing, i cant imagine maths without you
Really great and helpful
Good Material
Dr. Dawkins, you are a legend where I am from because of your incredibly thorough free online math notes. My friends and I use them all the time to study for our University math classes (sometimes I use your notes instead of my textbook!). THANK YOU so much for making such a wealth of knowledge free and accessible!
Dawkins is a professor who really cares about his students. His online resources are extremely helpful. However, be forewarned that tests and homework are HARD. Homework is mandatory, so don't be surprised if you end up spending 6+ hrs working it. His tests are similar to the homework, so definitely study that before taking the test.
Dr. Dawkins is a good teacher. I have him for Cal II, and although calculus is very difficult, I probably wouldn't have learned as much in someone else's class. He wants you to learn, and you can tell he gets excited about it. His homework is very difficult, but if you put in the effort, his tests don't seem to be as hard. Hard class good teacher
Word to the wise: if you did not start with Dawkins, do not take him for Cal III. I can tell that everything people are saying is true about him being a good teacher, but if you didn't have him for Cal I & II, then you will have a difficult time. I highly recommend him if you take all 3 calculus's with him.
Self study free material not paid and I am grateful to the professor many thanks
Great online material, I read his notes and completed all the exercises in algebra, linear algebra, calculus I, calculus II, calculus III, and differential equations. It helped me a lot with my university.
Really, the best notes out there. Its also very concise and neat. I downloaded all the pages and will keep them with me !
His free notes are totally awesome. I really appreciated it. May God bless you
Amazing online notes!
Great online notes!!!
May god really bless you sir.. Just want to say thank you for making mathematics very interesting and easy for me.. it helped me a lot.. :)
Awesome notes.
thanks for online notes
Online notes are really lucid. It helps those who want to brush up calculus and those who are from non-mathematics (medicine etc) background.
he is very good,the best
He the good guy!!! Me the student, Me the good student and him the good teacher. He should teach a english class as well
You made me see through equation of maths. Maths is really not collection of no. , it correspond to reality...
Professor Dawkins is an awesome professor. He's very clear, very smart, requires no book for his calculus class, witty, and will help you understand the concepts if you want to truly understand them. I will take Professor Dawkins for every class he teaches that I need as a math major.
Dawkins is awesome. Not much more to say.
I'm not even in this class. Paul is not even my "real" professor. But he may as well be! Learned 90% of Calc 1 from Paul's Online Math Notes and Khan Academy. I'm thankful to him for providing that awesome resource. One of very few amazing teachers whose positive influence reaches far beyond their own classrooms.
My professor at the University of Kentucky did not speak English. Paul's online notes are in English. I recommend them to everyone.. easy to understand and were the primary reason I received an A in Calculus II. Thanks Paul!
Hi Paul. University at Buffalo student here. Thanks so much for the awesome notes. They helped me sort out any questions I had during Calc I and Calc II when I couldn't ask my professor. Thanks so much for the help, if I'm ever in Beaumont I'll buy you a pizza or something.
Paul's note: Enough said. Seriously, thank you so much, for these notes, helped me so much in my ODE class - a Mcgill student
i am an economics PhD student. working on some ideas in metrics using linear algebra techniques i needed to go back to review some calculus 3 topics and i found that treasure of notes. because of the clarity i went through calculus 2 and 3 and sometimes 1, DE. i am so grateful to DR. Dawkins for these notes. really thank you so much.
His online notes help me during my gradution in Brazil. Thank you very much!
respected sir, your sheets are more helpful to me. i have utilised your integrations class at best extent. thank you sir.
Thank you, Prof. Dawkins for your freely downloadable notes, and for explaining it all in a lucid, easy to understand manner. It made my life very easy when I had to return to Calculus after 15 long years.
Great explanation. Awesome dude!
The math notes are beyond helpful. Thank you, Professor Dawkins, for compensating for every unclear math teacher.
Awesome online notes. Great for reviewing first and second year math courses. I feel much more confident returning to 3rd year electrical engineering.
I am just an oil field blue collar worker with an interest in math and I have finished Professor Dawkins' Calculus 1 2 and 3 ... it awsome ... thank you so much Dr. Dawkins ... next subject ... Linear Algebra
Thank you so much for your online notes, sir. You are the bane of unclear teachers and the boon of every struggling student. Your legacy lives on online, where every wise student comes to partake of the miracle that are your notes. Should I ever come to fortune by merit or fate, I will freely pay you for what was freely given.
The online calculus textbook and problems have saved me from a life of mathematical ignorance. My school uses a hideous textbook that I gave up on, and I use your online materials instead, and I am now doing very well in my class. Thank you Professor Dawkins for providing these very clearly explained materials free of charge to all students. BRAVO!
I'd like to thank you for providing your math notes online free of charge. They are incredibly helpful.
He's always there in his office and has a website with math things to help you along. I'm not a math major, and he's honestly one of the best prof i've ever had. Very intelligent, knows material very well. By the end of it, you will too! I recommend too all my friends. **IF MATH ISNT YOUR STRONG POINT, BE CAREFUL** classes fill quickly
Online notes are the best, thank you so much for everything, you have helped me semester after semester! This man should win an award.
His teaching is amazing!
This is quite possibly the greatest mathematics professor in the world.
Thank you for helping me enhance my knowledge of Calc 3.
This man's online notes saved my gpa, my interest in math, and my peace of mind. I no longer despise math nor fear it. The clear explanations and example problems (the examples through which he works you through!!) saved my life. god bless u prof
wonderful notes
Very good notes with plenty examples that improve our understanding such that we do not have to research more to get a better picture of the topic.
I have always struggled with math, Dr. Dawkins made it fun and made me want to do good. Amazing teacher!!!
Being a calculus student, this guy really helped me out..
This guy is a wonderful; the BEST teacher. If you need help, stop buy his office and he'll point you in the right direction. Unfortunately I find his class a bit too hard. He'd be perfect for those that are decent at math. But for people like me, that struggle through? Not so much. I'll find a easier teacher and just use his wonderful notes.
Very Good
I may not have met this prof, or even live in America but I owe Dr. Dawkins so much bc he saved my butt last semester when I took calculus III. My professor was honestly terrible so I had to heavily depend on Dr. Dawkin's online notes, clear examples & explanations to understand & boy did things become heavenly when I did! Thank you so much!
Your notes are amazing! Thank you!
He is kind of different from other professors. One can feel that difference. His lessons are clear, easy to understand and there are many example to understand the subject exactly.
Dr Dawkins is by far the professor who has impacted me the most. Math before Dawkins was not so fun. I actually understand Calculus now. I made an A in Cal I and an A in Cal II. I made a C in college algebra with another professor not name dawkins. He didn't hand out the A, I earned it, but could have not done it at all without his teaching ways.
Dawkins knows what hes talking about clearcut and has a very noticeable passion for the subject he teaches. If you aren't taught the subject in class you can always use his online resource to learn whatever you missed or weren't getting. He grades pretty strictly on notation but otherwise a great teacher.
Although never met him, but his online notes have been very helpful. Great job (y) keep up the good work. Thanks for all your effort, really appreciate it. Regards, Zain
Awesome teacher
The course covers entire calculus and differential equations. I loved the way it was taught.
paul is an amazing online professor who is very helpful in the way his notes have been written - he shows a critical awareness of learning
Mr. Dawkins can divide by zero, knows the last decimal of pi, and can achieve pretty much any mathematical wonder that the average teacher would tell you isn't possible to do. More seriously, Mr. Dawkins is the best teacher you could ever hope for. He's very nice, makes math as clear as it can be and is always willing to help. Hands down the best.
I had Dawkins for Cal I, II and III. He is an awesome professor and I could retake him if I had the chance. He is a tough professor and will challenge you, but there is nothing in his exams that he hasn't prepared you for. I really recommended students to take him, if you are willing to take the challenge. Prepare to study and to learn from him.
Best professor ever. Nuff said
He's a great teacher. Talks to you respectfully, if you don't understand something he will do his very best to make you understand. He is very knowledgeable and speaks eloquently, very understandable.
I have read Prof. Paul's notes, and they are amazing. He explains all the concepts well, and with clarity. The problem sums are quite a bit of fun too. :D
Honestly, I don't see why people are so crazy over him. Yes, he is excellent at his craft. But unless you spend hours and hours studying for his course then you won't make a good grade. And his final is HORRIBLE. I made A's in cal1&2 and took dawkins for cal3 and made a C. He is extremely tough, but explains material very well. Be prepared to work
This professor is simply the best! He makes the material so much easier to understand and he's always happy to help!
His website has been a wonderful way to learn. The subject material is tough but well worth the effort. This professor makes it as clear as you will find anywhere. I refer anyone I can to his website.
Paul Dawkins is easily one of the best professors I have ever had. He moves through notes in class at a pretty fast pace but the way he describes the problems and the techniques he gives for doing the work make an extremely difficult class (calculus II) much more bearable. Also, he is always ready to help!
he is a great teacher. the classes are good and the topics are nice
best prof
Well, Sir I really respect Your work. There is no way I'm going to fail Calculus
If you're the kind of person who can learn from the outdated lecture and homework only method, then have at it. If not, prepare to teach everything to yourself. This is a VERY hard class, with plenty of LOOOOONG, challenging homework. If you're good at math, about expect about 10-15 hours of homework a week. If not, it'll probably take about 16-24
only take his class if you have a ton of extra time for homework
The best math professor at Lamar, make sure you register early because his classes fill out in no time. This is Calculus, so you obviously should expect to do a little extra work outside of the classroom if you want to pass. You have one homework assignment due each week and he posts the answers to everything. No book needed. Highly recommended.
Best Prof ever
he is the greatest man I know on earth
Let me start off by saying GREAT teacher, however DO NOT expect this class to be a walk in the park - it wont be. He gives homework every week, some are longer than others but they all TAKE TIME. Please, please, please do not take his homework for granted YOU WONT PASS. Do it. Ask questions, go to office hours, do not be lazy.
Probably the toughest class of my college career, so far. But, I can say without a doubt I would be retaking this class if I had any other professor. Dr. Dawkins homework problems are usually long and ridiculous but are generally harder than the test problems.
GREAT Professor! He has great trick and tips on how to work certain problems. He give out homework everyday but it is doable. I would not recommend doing the homework last minute though. His lectures are very clear! DO NOT SKIP CLASS! you will miss a lot.
Paul is the best professor I've ever had. He proves theorems like no other. Best lectures ever, you'll never get bored. Paul is understanding and always on top of responding to emails. He loves questions and answers them thoroughly in a way that makes sense. Also, his website is killing the game. If Paul was an emoji, he would be the 100.
Definitely a great professor; he knows what he's doing. Quite a bit of homework but it's all worth it. Would highly recommend to anyone.
A excellent teacher and a monitor. You are the best of the best. A professor with a swag.
It's very rare to come across someone who loves what he's doing, and also so good at it. Professor Dawkins is both. Having made all his material available online, is an imaginable act of generosity and shows his passion for teaching. Having went through 2/3 of it already, making it as easy and logically flowing, made the journey so enjoyable.
If you're on the fence about whether or not to take Prof. Dawkins , you shouldn't have made it this far. Also, good luck getting a seat! Dr. Dawkins is absolutely the best professor I've ever had the privilege to learn under. Prepare your brain. Don't expect to pass with flying colors, or any colors, if you don't have some previous calculus XP.
DR. Dawkins is a very smart and respectful professor. He always tries to help students and put all his time and efforts for his work. There are tests after every 3 homeworks, and he returns them the next day. They are not easy, but if you study, you will get an A for this class. I would recommend Dr. Dawkins to students who want to take Cal 1!
Goood
Dr. Dawkins explains lessons very well. He is knowledgeable and alwaysssssssssss makes time to help students! Treats everyone equal, very nice person!!!
DO THE HOMEWORK. You'll be fine.
I'm here because Dr. Dawkins online notes have helped me a lot for Calculus 2.
This guys notes have probably helped millions of students. Way better at explaining than any textbook you will ever find. If all teachers were able to explain the way this guy does, rocket science would be taught in grade school.
Paul's math notes have helped me and countless others from failing our courses. Thanks to his notes i was able to make an A in my course at another more prestigious university. Lamar is lucky to have this man, and he is fantastic at teaching mathematics
Professor Paul is awesome.
I never took his class or even go to this college. However, his free online notes have helped me pass my calc class with an A and I am forever grateful for this man. His online notes are extremely well written and clear with examples and pictures to help your understanding. I would recommend anyone struggling with calculus to check his website out.
I have never actually seen nor met Paul T Dawkins. His online notes have been a godsend for my high school calc classes. God bless Paul T Dawkins!
Really great math professor. Teaches in a very concise and easily understood way. However this class is not easy and you will have to work for every grade that is given. But if you are willing to put in the effort you will learn a lot and be better off for it.
AMAZING ONLINE NOTES FOR CALC II. Do not know him, but he seems like a great man.
A really good professor with really good accessibility of resources through his website.
His online notes are a godsend for anyone who is either struggling or excelling in Mathematics.
I'm a brazilian calculus student, living in south Brazil. I always felt the need teachers could spend more time in proofs and demonstrations but I understand that, unfortunately, courses have many contents that have to be addressed and time availability to satisfy all my student needs is rare. Professor Paul's notes are godsent! Strongly recommend
Very great Sir.
His online notes are so amazing and helpful. Highly recommend. Content is quite difficult without a good grasp on precalc though.
Awesome
I never attended the college, but his online notes are by far the best (free) online resource for learning calculus. This is very good for people who would rather read than listen to lectures, and is much better than most textbooks, especially in the sense that it is organized as a university course.
DONT SKIP! Great lectures, great class, you actually learn, the homework is a bit rough, but if you do it and learn it test are extremely manageable. Take him if you can.
Never had this man as a teacher but this speaks for itself: Calc1: No paul's notes B Calc 2: No paul's notes C Calc 3: No paul's notes C Diff Eq: Paul's notes A His notes turned my college career around.
I found Dr Dawkins online notes while I was studying for my Masters Qualyfying exam. I have not taken a calculus course in 13 years and my schools qualifying exams are really difficult. I solely relied on Dr Dawkins online notes to prepare for Calculus part of the exam. His notes are god send and he is the reason I passed!!
daddy dawkins coming in clutch to moron bc calc juniors with Paul's online math notes!!!
notes and questions available at tutorial website are very helpful and they are very well organized and usefull
In High school I too the bare minimum and got a d in algebra. 31 years latter I wanted to return to school. Very little use of math over those years. I downloaded and studied his College algebra notes and easily placed into pre-calc. Heck, I could probably test out of calc with his notes if I really wanted to!
This professor is awesome
Love the notes online of Professor Dawkins. Never taken any of his class but the notes are awesome and most helpful.
This man and his free, online, high quality notes have probably had more positive net effect on the human species in modern times by teaching engineers and scientists Calculus than anyone else you can think of
Im not even an US student, I'm from the UK and I've been using Pauls online notes ever since starting advanced mathematics in high school 6 years ago (I'm a grad student now). Notes are gold. Will forever be grateful.
His online math notes have helped me self teach, and I really do not know how I would have done it if he didnt post them online for free. He doesnt make any money off of it; there is no option to donate or subscribe and there are no ads. This professor has done all of this to make it free of charge to do extra studying, which takes my breath away
His online notes were a Godsend during Calculus I - III for me. Paul is the GOAT.
His online notes are amazing. This guy is the GOAT
I just want to say thank you! His online notes are amazing!!!! His pure intention of spreading knowledge is so respectable in this world!
Super great guy! The class I took was moderately difficult, but his way of explaining content was unique and meaningful. There were a lot of opportunities to work with others and participate in discussions. Homework ranged in difficulty, but was only assigned once a week (and less often towards the end). Cares about his students.
i dont even know where his university is but i'm taking differential calc in another university and his online notes are single-handedly saving my gpa I would die for you Paul just know that
I LOVE Paul Dawkins. He's my superhero. MATH3301 gets this (love the 'I would die for you Paul' comment, lol). No longer in college, but used Paul's website then, and I'm using his Linear Algebra notes now, to learn the math behind 3D WebGL programming. I always tell everyone who needs college math help about Paul :-)
This is the best professor Ive ever had. Hes an amazing teacher and really makes the hard material easy to understand. The homework is normally harder than the tests so if you can do it then youre good.
I don't attend his university but this guy is hands down the best professor out there. His online notes have saved me a thousand times in calc1,2 and 3
amazing notes online
Dawkins is an amazing professor for mathematics knowledge. He knows what he is talking about and is available to help no matter what. Also, his homework is pretty straight forward. Dawkins takes attendance daily but it does not really affect your grade.
Paul Dawkins is a godsend. I'm not even his university but his online calculus notes have saved my ass on two separate occasions. I don't even use my own calculus professor's notes, I use his!
Honestly one of the best professors I have taken. I went into Calculus 2 with a non-existent base from Calculus 1, but Dawkins' teaching methods are so helpful - and his online notes don't disappoint. He focuses on what topics are important and gives homework based on his lectures. His tests are a tad bit easier than the homework questions.
Truly excellent notes that encourage the student and keep you motivated ! I wish other professor's were like him. I have numerous degrees and Professor Dawkins is in the top 10 of all the professors I have had in my career. Lifetime Student, B.S., M.S. Chemistry, B.S. Chemical Engineering, Ph.D. Environmental Science
ok I don't even know where Lamar is but his online notes man like you don't even need to listen to your own professor-in fact, I did an experiment where I paid no attention in class, but looked at Paul's notes, and I got an A-! From not paying attention. This man is a real help.
Had him several years ago and now I use his website to help students who are taking calculus. One of the few professors that thoroughly taught his material.
Online notes are impeccable, respect him and he'll respect you, do the homework and you'll pass the class. Accessible outside of class, amazing lectures, get in his class as soon as classes open, they fill quick. Took him for calc 2 which is the hardest and I passed with an A during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Take him, do the work, and you'll pass.
This g will save your life, haven't met an undergrad student in the USA who never used his online notes. The real big daddy.
Amazing teacher, he teaches just how I learn best. Amazing lectures(talks fast). He respects students who respect him back. He has his own website so no book needed. Amazing website! He grades everything and gives it back the next day. Do the work and listen and you will make a good grade. I learned a ton and would take him anytime I could.
his online math notes are a godsend, paul, if you read this, i am so grateful and i hope that you have a fantastic time in heaven
Dawkins is probably the best math professor in the country. You don't need the textbook, he has a website that's super helpful. His homework is really hard, but he drops the lowest homework grade at the end of the semester. If you go to his office hours with a question he'll make sure you understand it before you leave. 10/10 would recommend.
Dr. Dawkins is one of the few professors who adapted well towards the "online learning period" during this pandemic. If you cross reference his notes and his lectures, this class will be the easiest A+ you'll get.
I did not have Professor Dawkins, but his website, Paul's Online Math Notes, was heavily implemented into my Calc II and Calc III classes. The explanation of concepts is excellent, and the examples make it much easier to pass the tests. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say it is a blessing that his lecture notes are available for free online.
His online notes are absolutely great. He's the GOAT of professors.
Fantastic teacher. Best math teacher I have had in a long time.
Very hard, not going to lie. But he's the best. Respect him and he'll respect you. Teaches super well, but he does go fast. VERY picky on how you solve everything. You have to work for your grade.
I don't go to Lamar University, I'm not even American. This man is doing such a service with his online notes, I was compelled to sing his praise and maintain his high rating. A type of teacher you only see once in a generation. He has helped me more than he could ever know. Thanks, Paul. Truly.
Didn't take his class, as I'm sure most of us have not. Just simply boosting his stats since Paul's Online Math Notes are one of the best things on the internet. Clear, concise, brilliant, the gold standard. No pointless notation, only what you need to know to understand the material. Thanks man.
I have never even been to Lamar nor seen the man myself but his online notes got me through all calculus courses in college he deserves all the praise he gets
His notes were extremely helpful when I was in university. Thank you Paul for inspiring me and millions of students worldwide.
Absolutely amazed by how easy it was to use Professor Dawkins's notes. God bless this man.
One of the best Calculus teachers i met in my life. Thanks for the online notes. Love from India! :))
Yet another person here to admire his online notes. My DE Calculus I teacher actually used his notes to teach my class, and I got a 98. Fantastic notes deserving of all praise.
One word, his notes: AMAZING.
His notes are amazing. The best way to learn Calculus and Differential Equations.
Granted, this review may be unpopular but I think it's important to add to the choir of adulation. The online notes are absolutely fine, but come very close to plagiarism. In fact, he had to remove his linear algebra notes because of plagiarism concerns from Larson's Elementary Linear Algebra. Same can be said of his Calculus notes for Stewart.
I've never taken any of his classes. I'm still in high school, I felt I had to appreciate the quality of this man's notes. His online material is exceptional and taught me content far beyond what my school goes into.
A true icon and legend. His notes slay!!!!! Look up the derivation of why we include the Jacobian in a double polar integral! Cool read.
I got carried to an A+ in Calculus 3 because of his website.
Dawkins is the man when it comes to teaching math the class isn't easy, but his teaching is fantastic, he is also available outside of class and grades very fast. If you get the opportunity, take him you won't regret it!!!
good prof
Pauls Online Math Notes
I took him for Cal 1, 2, & 3, and I can't imagine learning calculus from anyone other than Dr. D. He explains things well and takes a practical approach to homework and exams. Part of his brilliance as a mathematician is that he explains things so that anyone can understand. I can't say enough good things about him. My favorite teacher ever.
Reading his page at Lamar University and his LinkedIn, he looks like someone who doesn't talk about or advertise himself but seems very available to his students. Probably millions of online fans have benefitted from his superbly organised notes. Got me through physics and astrophysics to postgraduate degree level and still refer to them regularly.
Paul's online math notes are a lifesaver. Thank you for your great work professor. I wish more colleges had professors like you!
Notes are perfectly clear and easy to read. much better than any textbook out there
Dawkins is the GOAT of all math teachers. Make sure to wake up at 12am to register for his class because it fills up FAST.
Dr. Dawkins is an amazing professor! His notes and lectures are amazing. He uses a template that he provides for the class to download or print. Using his templates is highly recommended, as this saves your hand while taking notes in class. I will take Dr. Dawkins again if he teaches any other courses I need. Also, his online notes are great.
Dr. Dawkins is a great professor! All of his notes and lectures are amazing. He uses a template that he provides for the class to download or print. Using his templates is highly recommended, as this saves time while taking notes in class. If Dr. Dawkins teaches any other courses I need, I will opt to take his class.
This professor is an extraordinary professor. He is the best math professor I have ever had in my academic career! He is a math wiz, he is passionate & knows the material he teaches, and is truly willing to help if you put in the work. Any course he teaches highly recommend him.
His online notes saved me in calc 1, 2, and 3. Couldn't have gotten an A without him. His notes are clear and more understandable than my textbook and his practice problems are very helpful.
His online notes website has been a great life-saver for me in my differential equations class! Truly a great resource I'd recommend my classmates to look into :) Thank you so much ^_^
I love his notes I go to a different school and my calc 2 professor is not great at explaining things so paul is carrying me fr
goated teacher carried me through my placement exams
best teacher ever his notes helped me so much
his online notes are the best, thank you paul
hhguykvj,hbnm/i lk,
great notes i love this man!!!!
THIS MAN IS SAVING MY GRADES AND I'M FROM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUNTRY, THANK YOU MR. DAWKINS!!!!!
He has not only amazing, thought-out notes, but he also has an online website. He does these "Help Days" which are a day prior or day of the homework due dates. His exams are not tough as long as you study (like any class ever). He is nice and understanding with anything. Very respectable. If you want this class, prepare for registration war.
THE GOAT!!!
