Winter 2019 - Das has the easiest tests in the math department. His review session, study guide, and past paper are very helpful. You only need to have a superficial understanding of the formulas and learn to apply them to ace the tests. Problems in his final study guide may appear in the final. Weekly quizzes on discussions can be tricky. 32A is a very easy but useful class. Highly recommend Das if you are looking for an easy A.

Fall 2017 - Das was an ok professor, but he was difficult to understand. His accent made things confusing and his handwriting was often hard to read so half the class was just trying to figure out what he was saying. The overall material isn't too bad, except for the last few weeks. There were weekly quizzes in discussion section, so they were mandatory to go to, and they ended up killing my grade. The homework wasn't too bad, just weekly problem sets from the textbook. The tests were rather difficult, I recall them being time consuming and hard to finish. Overall, this was not my favorite math class, especially because of the quizzes.

Spring 2019 - Das is a very nice man who is more or less lost in his own world. I feel like he's chill as a person, but he's an outright terrible teacher. He teaches so so slowly, and his homework and quiz system is very disorganized. He didn't teach like 90% of the things I needed to learn for my career in engineering, and what I did learn from him was word for word recited out of the textbook. The nice thing about his class is that his tests are for people who only go to his lectures, which means they are extremely easy. I recommend enrolling for his class but attending the lectures of a more highly ranked teacher. I did that and was able to learn the required material while breezing through the tests. His main redeeming factor is that he has like 3 outfits, and you get to see which one he wears the most. Right now, the purple pinstriped shirt is in the lead.

Spring 2018 - I had professor Das for Math 110B and while it takes a while to get used to his accent and he talks really fast, his lectures were very clear and his exams were fair. He did tend to start lecture early and end lecture late which was kind of annoying but other than that he was a great lecturer and would definitely recommend.

Winter 2018 - I'm taking this class right now as my Tech Breadth, so I haven't finished it yet. I just wanted to review since people are gonna enroll soon for next quarter and there aren't any review for Das yet! Das is the best math teacher i've had here at UCLA. It's been freakin years since I walked out of a math class and actually understood what was going on. He is extremely passionate about math and will definitely excite you. If I had a teacher like this in high school or even freshman year, I might have considered being a math major LOL. He's awesome. His hw takes a bit of time, but if you get through it and actually understand what you wrote, the tests are easy. Tests are easier than the homework. Homework isn't that hard.
