Teaching and Pedagogy
This page will include course material and details of my teaching activities at IITM. I teach undergraduate as well as post-graduate (M.Sc.) courses. Even though we have an active Ph.D. programme, we do not have too many courses for our doctoral students.
PH350 Classical Physics First Lecture: Monday, August 3, 2009 at 1pm Venue: HSB 210
PH708 Foundations in Theoretical Physics (Classical Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics)
Lectures on Quantum Field Theory at the Preparatory SERC school in Theoretical High Energy Physics during October 4-16 2009.
Books
- Classical Field Theory — a first course (under preparation) — This book is to appear in the series Texts and Readings in Physical Sciences by the Hindustan Book Agency. It is aimed at M.Sc. students in Physics (in the British/Indian system), Physics majors (in the American system) and Diploma students (in the German system). I hope to bring out the book towards the end of 2008. Here is a link to the pdf file of the proposed table of contents — comments and suggestions are most welcome.
- I am also writing a three-volume series on Physics with Prof. V. Balakrishnan and Prof. S. Lakshmibala. The material is based on lectures given at IITM over the years to undergraduates during their first three semesters. No publisher has been identified and we don't have a date for completion! The table of contents will appear soon.
