Lecture format and some suggestions to students

I would like students to continue asking questions, that is an essential part of a live lecture. At the same time, it would be best to spend a few minutes thinking about your question and trying to answer it yourself before you ask it. That is what makes one into a real scientist. It is a good idea to write down the question on a piece of paper and think about it patiently. You can still ask it after some time if you are unable to make progress with it.

You are welcome to post your questions in the chat box, but from the next lecture (July 14) onwards, I will keep that window closed while I lecture. At suitable break points in the lecture I will pause, open the chat box and answer a few questions.  

After every lecture, interested students are expected to look at the relevant portion of the textbook, work out the definitions carefully and solve the exercises. Sometimes additional exercises will be posted on this page. A significant participation from you will help you benefit from the lectures!
