On this link, you can find additional information for the Supplementary Enrichment Programs I offered during Spring 2020. Course material prepared during this period is available to BIT students on request (attn: swarup@bitmesra.ac.in). I continue to offer the courses online or in small workshops held at the department (although less frequently) and the last iteration was completed in Spring 2021.
Notes:
1. The course material is provided for self-paced learning and as a ready reference to students. Please refrain from any commercial use.
2. I strongly suggest to consult good texts on the subject matter for an in-depth and comprehensive treatment.
3. I have derived immense benefits from the following texts (in no particular order of preference) while preparing slides for the course material. I acknowledge the individual contributions of the authors.
