We will have 4 introductory lectures (as per the schedule given above) in which we will cover the background material for this course. Attendance in these lectures is not mandatory but strongly encouraged. These lectures will also be recorded for your convenience, but I would strongly advise you to attend them live so that you can interact, ask questions, and stop me immediately when something is unclear.
All announcements will be made here (urgent announcements will also be made via Teams/Email/WhatsApp). Please do check this section of this page at least once every day.

(Calendar will be posted soon.)
