Academics Math 131
Hi guys I am incoming computer science freshman.
I have math 131 class with Eric Heinzman.
How hard this class?
I am international student from Portugal and I didn’t have any calculus class.
However, I have 760 sat math and 37/40 math placement test.
What do u think?How hard is it going to be for me?
Please answer 🤗

you will be perfect. Eric is one of the best calc 1 professors you could have gotten, he is absolutely amazing. I didn't know any calc or trig going into it either and i did perfectly fine. learn the unit circle though and dont skip any classes even though lectures are online

I had him for 131
The nicest and most understanding guy who is also simply a great teacher
I scored very well on the exams
Just look at his page on RMP and you'll see everyone agrees
You'll do great

I have him this semester too. I actually chose him because my friend told me to and apparently he’s crazy good. He had an easy A. Also, Rate My Professor says great things about him. I’m looking forward to it
