Assignment 1 (submit by 03022020) Assignment 2 (submit to the TAs at 0930 on 10022020) Assignment 3 (submit by 20032020, delayed due to closure of the institute)

My office hours for this course are 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I taught this course in 2017, 2015 and 2014.

The problem sets of 2015 are here: Exercise Set I , Exercise Set II , Exercise Set III (It says Problem Set V because it was the fifth problem set in 2014. It is Problem Set III for 2015), Exercise Set IV (It says Problem set III because it was the third problem set in 2014. It is problem set IV for 2015.)

Mid Sem Question paper of 2015 is here. The mid sem paper for 2014 is here.

Starting now, i.e., 18 April, 2020, I shall post videos because it is not clear when we shall be able to meet again. These videos will be in two parts, covering roughly one hour in total. It is a pity that the videos do not communicate the energy and enthusiasm that I bring to the class. The material is important and that is the only thing that can be shared. But, other important things like the pleasure of doing mathematics with all of you and interactions with questions can only happen face to face. Well, we can only do what circumstances allow us. We shall try to make the best of circumstances. Looking forward to teaching you again on blackboard in person.
