I can not blame the prof for being difficult. Differential equations are really challenging and He needs more time to teach.

Awful
Prof Michal's class was boring, he just read from the slides. His teaching style is terrible even though he knows the topic well. I recommend taking a different professor.

Professor Michal didn't do too much apart from read off the slides. I learned basically nothing, and I only passed because I already knew stats. Just don't take the class.

The graphic nature of the symmetric group
We investigate a remarkable class of exponential sums which are derived from the symmetric groups and which display a diverse array of visually appealing features. Our interest in these expressions stems not only from their astounding visual properties
but also from the fact that they represent a novel and intriguing class of supercharacters.
The graphic nature of the symmetric group
The theory of supercharacters
which generalizes classical character theory
was recently introduced by P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs
building upon earlier work of C. Andre. We study supercharacter theories on (Z/nZ)^d induced by the actions of certain matrix groups
demonstrating that a variety of exponential sums of interest in number theory (e.g.
Gauss
Ramanujan
and Kloosterman sums) arise in this manner. We develop a generalization of the discrete Fourier transform
in which supercharacters play the role of the Fourier exponential basis. We provide a corresponding uncertainty principle and compute the associated constants in several cases.

Primary role was to teach 3-4 courses a semester and participate in course development as needed. Taught complex problem-solving skills reinforced with real-world problems students would see after graduation. Taught the following courses: MATH 333: Probability and Statistics (Python/R coding
Data Visualization
Statistical Inference
A/B testing
Regression)
MATH 222: Differential Equations (Mathematical Modeling
Problem Visualization
Construction of Solution Spaces)
Calculus 1-3 (Optimization
Gradient Descent). For Calculus 3 (MATH 309)
re-designed the entire course to improve student understanding (Worked hand-in-hand with instructors of Calculus 1-2 to help with their courses as well).
