TEACHING: AUTUMN SEMESTER, 2020

UM 101: UNDERGRADUATE ANALYSIS & LINEAR ALGEBRA

  • Announcements on special measures related to COVID-19 concerning the planning of lectures/tutorials

    Lectures will be conducted online. The mode of online teaching (whether online real-time or via pre-recorded downloadable videos, etc.) will be determined by the quality of students' access to the internet.

    The first lecture will be on the date notified to you by the Institute, and will be from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. on that date. The first lecture was held on November 11.

    The first lecture will be online, in real-time on Teams. This meeting will enable us to determine the modalities of online teaching for the remainder of the semester. For those who are unable to participate online due to internet-access issues: a recording of this (and every subsequent lecture) will be available for you to download and view offline.

    The link to the above-mentioned class will be available from this page (to access it, you must be logged into your IISc Microsoft Outlook account in a separate tab in the same browser); please click/tap on the "Course List" tab and scroll to the bottom where the UM courses are listed.
