He was awful, the worst professor I have ever taken at UCLA. I don't know a single student who had a positive thing to say about the professor or class. Did not learn a single thing.
I frankly think that Professor Wang is ineffective as a lecturer. While he is a nice person, his persona while lecturing is uninspiring and not engaging. He will write plenty of equations on the board, but his explanations drone on and on. Fortunately, our TA this quarter was excellent and explained the material well and concisely.
Perhaps the curriculum of this course is the problem. While it is called "Mathematics for Engineers," we see very little math applied to actual engineering problems, or any problems for that matter. The homework revolves around solving equations, and that's about it.
Frankly, we hardly learned anything that wasn't already covered in Math 33B. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the course materials or just this professor's way of teaching. Regardless, lectures were dry and boring, and the midterms were so easy that they don't even meaningfully distinguish good students. Disappointed with this class overall.
