    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    We used the Strogatz textbook on systems of differential equations, which was extremely helpful. it was good at helping to build an intuitive understanding of the material rather than just a formal grasp of the course content. i thought lectures were very clear and well-presented.
