 Curriculum vitae

Notes

• Nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations A very quick introduction to nonlinear ODEs (only two dimensional) covering the very basics of equilibrium points, jacobians and associated stability. These notes are written for undergraduate students with little-to-no-background in linear algebra and some knowledge of calculus. These were written when I was a graduate student, so excuse the informal nature.
• Introduction to perturbation methods [Updated: 14 May 2019] In May 2019, I gave four lectures introducing perturbation methods for nonlinear partial differential equations. These lectures cover a subset topics from the notes. Lecture 1 Lecture 2 Lecture 3 Lecture4 I gave a related lecture on the derivation of the quasi-geostrophic equations using the same ideas as part of a discussion meeting on Air-Sea interaction in the Bay of Bengal Quasi-geostrophic equations
