While taking rounds of the class, I noticed that some of you have a handicap in mathematical methods. Specifically, in analytical geometry, calculus, vector calculus etc. These are the tools of physics, without which, this course may seem somewhat difficult. I suggest, to those, who are weak in these topics to learn/update/practice using some textbooks like Arfken or Schaum Series books. Practice a lot of problems.
Topics to learn by yourself:
  1. Orthogonal Coordinate Systems
  2. Vector Calculus (including line, surface, volume integrals)
  3. Ordinary Differential Equations (Second Ordered, Linear)
  4. Partial Differential Equations (Though we will cover some aspects in this course)
