 Good morning to all of you, Prasad Kannan, Prasad Tommy, Prasad Shri Peshad. You know, we have been here for some time listening to them, and they have spoken many nice words about us, but I've been always told when friends speak nice words, don't think seriously about it. I have not yet seen whether any of us speak nice words or not, so that's a different story. So I will take this, I'll speak for not more than five or seven minutes, both on behalf of Professor Shri Peshad and Professor Shures as well as on my behalf. So that will essentially to tell you a little bit about what we are going to do. But before that, a little reminiscence, as Professor Phatak pointed out, we came, I came roughly around the same time because he had come after us, though he's slightly junior to me, but he had come after his MTech and I had come after my PhD, so we came at the same time. And when I came, the computers had not developed, though there was a computer science department was just being born actually. It was a part of electrical engineering department, later on it was separated and all that. When I came, today you see many fancy buildings and all that, but Hawaii was not accessible from the rest of Bombay. There used to be only one bus coming in every half an hour. I still remember its number 392. And this was all jungles, with snakes all over. And we were all told that beware of snakes. And today when I was sitting next to Professor Kannan, I found there are snakes on his computers as well because he was using something called python, which I was always told to be afraid of. So that's the way the development has been taking place. And we have really greatly benefited from being in an engineering department, an engineering institute, primarily. Unlike what Professor Tommy told you, what happens in engineering colleges today, the departments of physics, chemistry and mathematics are considered as service departments. Believe it or not, back in 70s when we came, the situation in IITs were not much more different. At that time, if not as bad as it is with many departments in engineering colleges, the physics, chemistry, mathematics are still considered as service departments. They have, of course, grown like anything from there and they are, you know, fairly big departments today. Coming back to what we are going to do, we had a very big problem when people said that, look, you have to teach the teachers. Now what is the problem of teaching the teachers? You have all done the same thing. So the problem is, so what is great? I know this. This is always a challenge for anybody to hold your interest for one and a half hours. And as you know that Professor Fatak talked about 21st century teachers, I am actually more like a 19th century teacher. And in this room, I have a lot of problem because there is not even a blackboard. But anyway, we will try to do our best. And what we did is to go through the syllabi of various engineering institutes that was provided to us by our colleagues who are in Professor Fatak's office and project. And believe it or not, there is a lot of diversity in the curriculum that is followed in various universities. So what we did is to sort of, you know, filter out a little bit which is common to most of the institutions. So we decided that we will have some course lectures on electricity and magnetism, optics, relativity, quantum mechanics and maybe one or two lectures on magnetism and superconductivity. We have also written in our syllabus that we will be talking about nuclear physics but we will see if it is workable then maybe optics has to be curtailed by one lecture and we can take up nuclear physics. The point that I am trying to also make is that electricity magnetism which I will be teaching and starting next, usually is given for 40 lectures in this institute and I am going to condense it in four lectures which requires, you know, really wizards to do it. And since I am not a wizard, what I am going to do is to pick up a few things and, you know, I mean, look at that. But there is one advantage which both Professor Shri Prasad and myself have. Our lectures which we will be giving, most of them are available as a part of NPTEL projects. In fact, in electricity magnetism, I have myself given one web course as well as a video course which is available on NPTEL. Professor Shri Prasad has given course on relativity, several lectures are there and in any case some of those could become supplement. But let me sort of tell you something. This is a five-day course. Naturally there would be, you know, dissatisfaction of what you have picked up from us because nobody, nobody can teach you in five days what normally they teach over a semester and that too over several courses. But it would help us a lot. If when you go back to your institutions, you let us know, you know, like for example, this time we will not be able to do many problems. Other than illustrative problems, we will not be doing any problems. There is just, there is no time. But December, we have the possibility of doing tutorial sessions with problems. So if you could, when you go back, you know, send us questions which belong to this same disciplines as we are talking about that it would be nice if you could do this problem. And then what we will do is to look at whatever is possible and then we will accordingly modify our second session. That is the December session. We will be doing specific problems that you may have sent us. So therefore keep in touch with us after the five-day session is over. And once again, since we will be talking and you will be seeing us for next five days, I will not be exceeding my time. So I think we will probably disperse for half an hour and come back at 11.30 for the first session of lectures. Thank you very much.
