Great professor. Very knowledgeable. I had him for Calc 2. Outgoing personality. Of all the math professors I've had he is at the top of the list. He takes the time necessary to explain material and will make himself available at his office if you need help. His tests are difficult but if you get an A on them you aren't required to take the final

If he sees you a semester or two later in the halls he stops and says hello, I cant say that for anyone else at Edison.
