It was a very interesting course taught by Dr. C. Sivaram. He is very witty, practical and as much as he delved deep into physics and mathematical equations. At the same time, he would talk about the funny side of the world. I remember having many a hearty laughs in his class. He has profound knowledge about almost everything under the sun - whether its global warming & effects of mankind, heart-beats per minute of whales, possible size of trees & wingspans of birds on an alien planet etc. !!
