<p>It’s a lot of difficult homework, but lots of advanced math courses would give similar amounts of homework. That looks like a typical first graduate course in algebra at a good university. The part that makes it so hard is that it’s given to freshman, not first year graduate students (for whom there is a huge jungle of very advanced graduate courses offered at Harvard).</p>
