Now that the semester is over, is it OK to email one of my professors to thank them and let them know that I appreciate their work, or would that be cheesy and gay?
One of my maths professors was really good and explained things in a way that made me "get it" that made my mathematical understanding vastly better, and I really enjoyed his course. Is this a common thing? Have you ever done it?

Extremely homosexual, but go for it.
Write it in a physical thank-you card, not a goddamn email, though. Jesus.
pretty cheesy and gay famdesu
but i doubt your professor will care
Just hope he doesn't get the wrong message and think you have a crush on him.

Just do whatever the fuck you want.
On a second thought, don't do it. You must be a very insecure and socially inept individual in order to ask something like that. You'll end up writing something extremely cringe and your professor shouldn't have deal with that.

I don't want to get into undergrad research

Nah, did undergrad research, but industry is way better
Being a decent human being is one thing, and sending love letters to your professors for doing the job that they're paid to do is another

It's sort of their job to teach their students. Although it's not as if he's going to broadcast the fact that you sent him a cheesy and gay message to the whole university. So go ahead if you really feel the need to do it.

Uh, I'm pretty sure professors are friends with one another. Why wouldn't you talk about a hilarious email you got?

It'll only be as cheesy and gay as you write it to be.
Just be formal and explicit, everybody which isn't a total cunt likes to receive compliments, even and especially if it's about their work.
if it's not overly elaborate and gay I don't see why not
I shot one to a prof of mine who taught a special topics course where the material basically got me an internship one summer. sent them a brief thank you with a small note describing what I did over the summer related to the course, they were pretty happy that it was useful desu senpai.
Not quite the same but I work as a tutor and i'm always happy to know if my students think i've done a good job, so go for it imo, just don't make it overly elaborate, a simple thanks is always good.

A thank you email stating that you had fun in the course, possibly followed by a request for additional material on the subject, or even asking about opportunities to continue working with them?
Sure, that sounds reasonable to me.
An email gushing about how that was your favorite class all semester, oh god I loved the way you explained concept X, i'm so sad that I won't be in your class any more, I miss you already daddy, etc?
Nah, I wouldn't do that.
i have made it a habit to personally thank my professors at the end of the year, unless they were bad. I usually go and talk to them one on one, and tell them that I really appreciate the work they put in, etc.

I typically write a note on the final exam thanking them for the class.
I'll write a physical card for them if they write me a letter of recommendation or something of that sort
As a T.A., I love it when students do this.
