the teacher's an IMO math winner / doctorate from france, and you're pansying out and calling him horrid because he's got an accent?

do you even understand calculus, or is this all because of the accent?

[Wirrit]

As far as accents go, I'd call this a fairly light and innocuous one. It -is- important for teachers to be understandable and clear -- but I think he is. The grammar's near-perfect (at least as perfect as any native speaker), and the difference in pronunciation is very standardized and doesn't cause words to get mixed up with eachother. That's really all you can ask.

@Wirrit You be surprised how "perfect" native speaker's grammars are.

[TheLittleTrickster]

That's so cool.

I'm brazillian, and I've been watching all the 18.02 lectures with Aurox as Instructor... And I can say that I am understanding every single word that comes out of his mouth. He's brilliant! Respect for him.

@joeglimmix by contrast his brain probably has 8 pack abbs

[Scelenaarwen]

i think from now on in these lecture series my 10th grade level math just wont cut it :D Good part is that its summer and at the end of it i AM gonna know multivariable calculus, failure is not an option!:)

Awesome series, and professor.

[pedroissler]

@joeglimmix i agree with you, but here goes how typical "independent learners" would reply to this: Look, first you get his level of education, ok? Then you can get to comment on his belly.
