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

Office : N23 in the mathematics building.

Office Hours : By appointment.

Classroom and timings : LH-4, Tue, Thu 2-3:30

Teaching Assistants : Arindam Mandal (arindamm@iisc.ac.in)

Tutorials : Saturdays, 11-12.

The Grading policy: Quizzes-based-on-Homework (20%) - A quiz based on (but not 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 20 Sept (Tue) from 2-4 in LH-4. The syllabus is everything until (and including) Lagrange's multipliers and the injective derivative theorem (that is, all the lectures, until Sept 16).

The Final shall be held on 6 Dec (Tue) from 2-5 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.)
