Reviews of professor Vikram Krishnamurthy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He genuinely wants his students to do well. He is really passionate about what he does. He cares more about us understanding the content than getting the exact right answers and his homework and exams are graded accordingly. He actively asks for feedback and follows through on it. A really sweet and understanding guy who cares about his students:)

The best sophomore class at Cornell I have taken. Prof Krishnamurthy is inspirational in the class. He went out of the way to  explain the assignments in the office hours. I strongly recommend this course as an ENGRD requirement. The assignments are difficult and time consuming but u learn a lot. Prof. K really knows his stuff.

Professor Krishnamurthy made sure to give insight on data science and statistics throughout lectures, often explaining how this type of material may come up during tech interviews. Problem sets focused heavily on Python, often making it tedious, but he made sure to give good practice problems/expectations for the midterm and final.

This is an excellent and mathematically heavily rigorous course. I am a CS-major.  I did not know that linear algebra had so many real world applications. This guy seriously rocks, he is very approachable. The assignment take a lot of time. But no prelims :)  One of the best courses at Cornell by far. Final exam will be take-home.
