COURSES TAUGHT IN THE PAST

(Last Update: June 20, 2015)



I. Courses taught at IIT Bombay as an Instructor

In addition to teaching these courses, I also conducted the tutorials, as a Course Associate, for several B.Tech. courses at IIT Bombay. Some of the M.Sc. courses mentioned above have also been conducted, mainly as Self-Study, during the summer.
