re: Can anyone recommend a Math 2090 tutor?

Thanks for all your help! I've used Khan Academy for my other classes before, I think I'm just feeling especially unmotivated this semester so a tutor would be a nice change of pace but if I can't find one I'll definitely be using Patrick JMT :)

Really? Are you still familiar with the material?

Call this guy. He's the best in the engineering biz. He just teaches you how to work problems.
His name is Jai (pronounced "Jay")
Phone: (225)768-8459
But I really don't think a tutor is necessary for this class. And he's kind of pricey.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

Do the homework. The tests are usually just like the homework in that class. I'm a firm believer that 2090 is your free 4 hour A

Blaise Bourdin. Dude is a massive piece of shite

When did you have him?
When I did, he would get mad at being asked questions, he would never be available during his office hours, and he gave little to no partial credit.
Maybe time changed him.
Also I just want to add, I thought Math 2090 was most difficult around the linear algebra sections that started with subspaces and vector spaces and ended with eigenvalues and eigenspaces, mostly because a lot of it isn't as explicit and it's kind of hard to know what will be asked on a test. The matrix operations and differential equations part of the class were very easy and you learn so many valuable things that you'll use for the rest of your college career.

Did anyone have a math professor with the last name palfrey? Dude was hilarious

I had Paul Britt for DiffEQ and he made the class very easy. Took it the semester before with Forrest ?Guy? I think was his name and he made the class almost impossible for me so I dropped it.

I made a c, but never studied or did hw and showed up hungover quite a bit

I'll do it for free.
Qualifications : masters in engineering science. I'm good at math
One question first. Are you hot?

I had him fall of 2007. I just remember him, because it was my first semester at LSU. I had taken Calculus in high school and did not understand anything because I had a lazy teacher who was retiring that year and made no efforts to explain what solving these types of problems meant. She just gave us a formula/method and expected a plug and chug. Bourdin went in depth with theorems and why things worked, which was something I'd never had before.
