Sergei Treil is my favorite. He says "homehork" instead of "homework" and "multiwariable" instead of "multivariable." It's pretty cool. He's also a pretty good teachers, and asks us often what we think of his teaching. Even "Are the letters on the blackboard big enough?"
Steven J. Miller is also pretty craxy cool. He's probably about 35, so he's very funny and very with it. He talks about something topical at the beginning of each class... like the NY Jets, or darts, or something... and he makes sly little jokes a lot. What's also really interesting is that he's clearly mind-numbingly brilliant, but doesn't put any effort into showing it at all. You can just tell. It like eminates from him effortlessly. Today he gave us a review session at 7PM and brought us little doughnuts (which I didn't get to eat because he packed them up before I could get to them!) and he also takes an interest in all of us... like, he knows about all of my classes and was the one who let me know that you can't get credit for 18 and 35, and found out for me that yes you CAN take 17 and 18/35 at the same time both for credit. And he told me about stuff in the summer that he does. And he came to the frat "party" today.
More on that.
Peace!
