Courses Taught :-

I have taught several courses during my academic career in BITS, some of these are listed below. Text books and reference material identified by author names (indicated in parenthesis) are provided as an aid  in gauging the level at which each course was taught. Many of these courses were taught multiple times. Year and semester wise breakup details have not been maintained.

  1. Physics I : A first course for entering freshmen Covers Mechanics, Waves & Oscillations & Optics. (Resnick Halliday &Walker, also Kleppner & Kolenkov, & also A.P. French, & by H.J. Pain)
