Text : Thomas’ Calculus.

Course web site : http://home.iitk.ac.in/∼ psraj/mth101

Course materials: The course plan and all the necessary and relevant information will be available
on the course website. Further, the lecture notes of each of the lectures, the assignments and a
collection of practice problems with hints/solutions are also available on the website.

Some proofs in the lecture notes and some problems in the practice problems are marked (*).
These have been provided to increase your understanding of the subject. However, these proofs will
not be asked in the exams and quizzes.

Videos of Lectures: Videos of the pre-recorded lectures will be uploaded periodically on the
Hello IITK platform at https://hello.iitk.ac.in/course/mth101a2020. Students can login to the
Hello IITK portal using their IITK login id and password to view these videos.

Videos of Tutorials: Videos of the pre-recorded tutorials will be uploaded periodically on the
Hello IITK platform. Only the problems given in the assignment sheets will be solved in the
prerecorded tutorials.

Tutorial and discussion hours: Each student will be allotted a tutorial section. Each tutorial
section will be assigned a tutor. There will be a tutorial hour and a discussion hour every week.
The tutor will conduct the tutorial and the discussion hour through Zoom. The tutors will provide
the zoom meeting details. The students can discuss the assignment problems in the tutorial hour
with the tutors. The practice problems available on the course web site are usually not discussed
in the tutorial classes; however, the students can discuss these problems with the tutors during
discussion hours. The students can also discuss with the tutors during the discussion hour if they
have any questions/doubts in the materials covered in the lectures. If you have any questions,
please contact the tutors or the instructors instead of posting on the Hello IIT Forum.
Weightage for the exams and the quizzes : There will be two quizzes. Each quiz will be
worth 15 marks. There will be one mid-semester examination which will be for 70 marks. End
Semester Examination will be for 100 marks.

Mode of conduction of Exams and Quizzes: The exams and the quizzes will be conducted
online either on Gradescope or HelloIITK platform.

Make-up exam: There will be no make-up for the mid semester exam and quizzes. However,
a student who is going to miss the mid semester exam due to illness or some other valid reason
should contact the instructor in-charge before the exam (after the exam in case of medical reason).
