This was seriously the hardest math class I have EVER taken. I knew 32B was going to be difficult, but taking it with Mezaros genuinely made it so much harder. He teaches mostly in theory, but the tests are primarily major application problems. There are two midterms, a final, and homework due every friday. The homework only counts for 10% of your final grade. The exams were extremely brutal. The class average was usually between 50-60%. No matter how much I prepared for the exams using the textbook, watching youtube videos, going over class notes, doing practice problems I was still never prepared for the questions that were thrown at us on the tests. Also on the midterms, you only get 50 minutes for the whole test which is not enough. The final felt pressed on time too. I would try to take this class with another professor if you can. Mészáros is a super nice guy and will try to help you as best he can at office hours, but the amount of stress and pressure I was under during this quarter specifically from his class was absolutely insane.

Meszaros is an awesome professor that I highly recommend for anyone in math. He stresses proofs during lectures but also does examples that make it easy to see the physical intuition behind the concepts being learned. The tests also use this intuition for many of the questions and many questions on the test cannot be solved or would be too tedious to solve without understanding the problem and applying known tricks. The homework is pretty doable, roughly 3-5 hours worth for one week. Sometimes the problems on the homework get very computational and it really does not become about learning the concept anymore, but rather how would you solve this integral and those take a bit of time.

The test questions were very straightforward and easy to follow; the only problem is that they are REALLY time constraining. I think out of the three questions on the first midterm, I managed to make basically every addition error possible and didn't finish the third question and was only able to draw the domains. For the second midterm, I finished in the last 30 seconds and half the people didn't finish. The final was a lot nicer and even though I got stuck on this one question, I had like an hour to figure out the answer. You REALLY want to use the tricks and intuition that he teaches you in class or otherwise you won't finish these!

The lectures are really helpful in seeing where the formulas come from and even though he always says he is a really bad drawer, it actually is pretty easy to connect what he is talking about to what he is trying to show you. He stays on schedule and at a slow enough pace that everyone can follow.

I had other classes in the afternoon during his office hours so I couldn't go, but I heard he is an even better office hours professor which is a plus. His office hours were all in one block though so either hit or miss.

Overall, awesome accent! Take this professor!
