I took CS 173 and 373 from Jeff nearly 20 years ago, with 273 from another great professor. That course sequence along with Combinatorial Game Theory (which I took on a lark) has had a greater impact on me than the rest of my university experience combined. A lot of that is due to the quality of the professors I was lucky enough to have.

Perhaps you might, when you get a chance, email him a brief note to tell him that. That'll make a person's day.

He's in the comments here so I suspect his day is already made! :)

Yeah, this may the 3rd or 4th time I've said something along those lines in a HN thread he's active in over the last 10 years.

Day made!!

You know what, your book on linear algebra is really great too. I tried to understand LA from too many books but your book was the one which made sense for me.

:-) Thank you.

CS 598 JGE with jeffe which covered more advanced and niche algorithms was 10000% the most impactful cs class I've ever taken.
