MA 380: INTRODUCTION TO COMPLEX DYNAMICS

• Announcements on special measures related to COVID-19 concerning the planning of lectures/tutorials

  Lectures will be conducted online. The mode of online teaching (whether online real-time or via pre-recorded downloadable videos, etc.) is to be decided.

  The first "lecture" will be on March 2 and will be at 11:30 a.m. This will be an organisational meeting (students from IISc are referred to my e-mail on the reasons for the late start).

  This meeting will be online, in real-time on MS Teams. It will enable us to determine the modalities of online teaching for the remainder of the semester. For those who, due to internet-access issues, are unable to stay online without interruptions: a recording of this (and every subsequent lecture) will be available for you to download and view offline.

  The link to the above-mentioned meeting will be available from this page (to access it, you must be logged into your IISc Microsoft Outlook account in a separate tab in the same browser). Students not from IISc should e-mail me to receive the link to the March 2 meeting.
