The best thing about Mr. Ky is that he is approachable, unlike many other math teachers. If he goes over something too quickly or you need more clarification, just ask- he will go over it 10 times if he has to. The book we used for this class was not good so just use his notes and the homework problems for the exams. I definitely recommend him.

Instructor Ky is simply the BEST. The only thing wrong with his class is the text book he uses.
