Which professor is this?

I had a professor Parker for Math 53 (Multivariable calculus). He preferred to talk about politics in lecture. I was in his class during the middle of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and in one of the few lectures I did attend, he was handing out a handwritten diatribe against Special Prosecutor Ken Starr.

And the way he was teaching went completely over my head. And I had a TA who had such a thick Asian accent that I couldn’t understand him. For all I know, he wasn’t actually speaking English.

I am convinced that lower division (or possibly the entire undergrad) math classes at Berkeley are completely shit. I have NEVER heard of anyone with a good experience in lower div math, and the only nuts I’ve ever heard of being happy with our math department were math majors (Peter and Ari from P5).

I still wonder if my crap experience in Math 53 (combined with a professor with the most impossible tests ever in Physics 7A-C) is what forever doomed me to be unable to do analog EE.

Fuck Berkeley Math.
