Enjoyed learning calculus from prof. Serrano. I mostly enjoyed the programing exercises, I wish this is how it was taught to us in school. But better late than never.

As with the Linear Algebra course, the instructor used exceptional visualizations and interactive tools to help solidify understanding of complex concepts.
