MA 200 - Multivariable calculus - Autumn 2023 - Vamsi Pingali


The texts we will be referring to are as follows :
1. Munkres, Analysis on manifolds (Primary text).
2. Spivak, Calculus on manifolds.
3. Rudin, Principle of Mathematical Analysis.
4. J. H. Hubbard and B.B. Hubbard, Vector Calculus, Linear algebra and differential forms.

The course description (along with pre-requisites) can be found on this webpage. Please join the MS Team with the code ht1sm12.

Instructor: Vamsi Pritham Pingali, vamsipingali@iisc.ac.in.

Office : N23 in the mathematics building.

Office Hours : By appointment.

Classroom and timings : LH-4, Tue-Thur 3:30-5:00

Teaching Assistant : Mainak Bhowmik (mainakb@iisc.ac.in)

Tutorials : Fridays 4-5 PM in LH-4

The Grading policy: Quizzes-based-on-Homework (20%) - A quiz (of 20 minutes duration) based on (but not necessarily identically the same as) the HW will be conducted by the TA during tutorial session every week or so (the best n-1 out of n such quizzes will be considered for averaging), Midterm (30%), and Final (50%).

Exams:

The Midterm shall be held on Either on 28 Sept (Thursday) or 29 Sept (Friday) from 3:00-5:00 in LH-4 depending on the institute holiday. The syllabus is everything upto (but NOT including) integration.

The Final shall be held on Dec 8 from 2-5 PM in LH-4. The syllabus is everything taught in the course.

Ethics: Read the information on the IISc student ethics page. In short, cheating is a silly thing. Don't do it.

Here is the tentative schedule. (It is subject to changes and hence visiting this webpage regularly is one of the best ideas in the history of best ideas.)
