Announcements

• Course calendar updated on 11th March. A tentative list of topics have been added for all the remaining lectures. Also, Quiz 3 (and the tutorial immediately following that) have been moved up by a lecture.
  
  
• Note that the lectures on March 7th and March 21st will be conducted in hybrid mode. I will be present physically in the classroom on campus, but those who may wish to join online can do so. Please look at the course calendar (below) for the Teams meeting link for these lectures.
  
  
• Note that a small change has been made in the course calendar. Tutorial 5, which was earlier marked as a tutorial with submission has now been marked as a tutorial without submission. We will be discussing the mid-term exam paper in this tutorial. This has been compensated by changing Tutorial 14 to be a tutorial with submission.
  
  
• Note that the slots/venues of the lectures and tutorials are subject to occasional changes. Please cross-check this with the weekly schedule that is sent over email.
  
  
• The course calendar has been updated! Please take a look. The days of all the lectures, tutorials (with and without submissions), and the quizzes have been marked clearly. The quizzes will be conducted in the class itself, during the class time. Note that there are 14 tutorial sessions -- 10 in which a submission will have to be made in the classroom, and 4 extra ones (marked in orange in the calendar).
  
  
• We will have the introductory lecture for this course on Tuesday, 14th Jan, at 10:00 am in Classroom 8.
  
  
• All announcements will be made here (urgent announcements will also be made on Teams). Please do check this section of this page at least once every day.
