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.

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.

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.

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