Professor Varvarezos's 120A feels like a lower-division class, in both material learned and also easiness. I did not learn much from this class as I would have wanted about differential geometry besides computations and brushing up on differentiation and picturing three-dimensional spaces, since that was primarily the highest dimension that we studied. He spent much of class getting caught up in the details of differentiating functions, which is beneficial for most of the mathematics of teaching majors but was not the most helpful use of time to me, a pure math major. I would have appreciated more of generalization to higher-dimensional spaces or more topics in the vast field of differential geometry.

The professor teaches clearly and concisely and midterms and finals tested very basic concepts. As this class is a requirement for most majors, I recommend him. Office hours are super helpful and getting a good grade in this class is not tedious.

Professor Varvarezos was a fine professor. His tests were manageable but difficult, and if I had to take this class again I wouldn't mind being in his lecture.

This class was great. He’s a great professor and you should totally take 31A with him if you are able to. The workload was not and at all. All you had to do was study to do good on midterms and final.
