The Grading policy: There will be three quizzes out of which the best two (each carrying 10% weightage) will be chosen for grading. The quizzes will be based on the HW problems (which we will be assigned almost every week but will never have to be submitted). The midterm (during April 25-30) will carry 30% and the final (during June 20-25) will carry 50%.

Exams:

Quiz 1 shall be held on April 7 (during the tutorial) . The syllabus is everything until (and including) inverses of matrices (that is, everything covered until (and including) the 1st of April).

Quiz 2 shall be held on May 19 (during the tutorial). The syllabus is ODE (linear systems) and everything we did after the midterm until (and including) 13 May.

Quiz 3 shall be held on June 2 (during the tutorial). The syllabus is everything we did from 16 May to (and including) 27 May, that is, weeks 10 and 11.

The Midterm shall be held on April 27 from 9:30 to 11:30. The syllabus is all of linear algebra (that we covered).

The Final shall be held on June 22 from 9:30 to 12:30. 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.)
