I have taught the following courses at IIT-K. Throughout each course, I will upload lecture notes, assignments, and relevant references for further reading. However, these materials are intended to supplement learning and should not be considered a substitute for a textbook. The academic calendar follows a semester system: Even semester -- January to the end of April while the Odd semester is from August to the end of November.

Courses Taught at IITK:

Classical Mechanics

4. Classical Mechanics - PHY401
(Odd Semester - 2025, 2026)
Masters level course on Classical Mechanics, covering Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, rigid body motion, nonlinear dynamics and perturbation theory. Course Handout Resources

Classical Mechanics

3. Classical Dynamics - PHY112
(Even Semester - 2025, 2026, 1st half)
An undergraduate course on Classical Dynamics. The first half covers Newtonian mechanics, oscillations, central force motion, phase space dynamics etc. Course Handout Resources
