He is amazing teacher. I attended his course on electromagnetism.

Chemical reaction engineering

What a sharp wholesome personality

for the quiz

what a master

Amazing sir❤❤❤

Great videos! Thanks for sharing

He appears to be a Vertasium channel fan

are this simulations of the same circuit designed in the lecture?

Sir Real analysis, Abstract algebra, Linear algebra lectures upload cheyandi sir.

Any book recommendation, or just Nielsen Chuang?

very good lecture. Thank you

very impressive class

Many thanks for uploading this lecture by the legend. By any chance, can you please share the copy of the slides Prof Balakrishnan had presented. I know it's a big ask, but it would be immensely thought provoking for people like me.

is this course being offered to BTECH students of IITB.............?

You are a great teacher Thanks sir

Please describe the course name, lecture number, professor's name and all the details in the description. Lazy uploader!

Simply brilliant!!!🙏

You saved me Sir..🙏

started studying 1 week before midsem,batch of 2024

sem*

mid set on 14/09/2024

Combustibility is interlinked with safety

Prof. Desai is probably the best professor in IITB. The way he carries out the class is simply amazing!

I wanna be like him

thank you, even i live in jakarta, but i enjoy your teaching

great, i live in jakarta, indonesia, i have been following your teaching , quite clear, i graduate master in biochemistry, when i was 50, it was 15 years ago

30th August Quiz 1

Thank you very much for sharing your lessons

very nice explanation, i became more understand the concept of dna gene protein and feedback

1:18 curve fitting

Very helpful thank you

Anyone in 2024???

Need more vedio

Cheating warning 😂

sound and camera quality good but not better please fix that

Too apriciating to upload these videos after coming this type of views ( rich)

❤

great explanation Sir!!👏

amazing student

Cool.

Nice video. I suppose Sumit and Nandan were well prepared for this :)
