Having taken this class, it is billed as a breadth-first introduction to a ton of topics in mathematics. It is not meant to go into any of them in depth, but to give you a taste of many different topics in one short semester. We were told to consider it a wine tasting, not a night out at a bar. This is one of the first classes a CS major at MIT is expected to take. To that end, I think it more than fulfills its goals. I certainly learned a lot, even if some of it I already knew; and I went on to take more in depth classes on the few topics I really was interested in, which was exactly what the course was intended for.
