I am longing to teach for olympiads and understand deeper physics. I need to solve everything beginnning with Abhay Kumar Singh.



I also wish to solve entire Krotov, Irodov, Abhay Kumar Singh etc ... one book at a time. (I will have to learn mathematica efficiently, including programming. That will help me solve abhay kumar singh quickly. I have also been considering buying WACOM bamboo and Kindle DX.

Do I feel satisfied with my Job? I think yes and no. It is fairly cool. I don't have to prepare much but then I feel bad about having dull students and taking them through the syllabus at a zooming speed. How can it become more satisfying? I think a notebook PC is the answer. By next year I believe that kindle will come with 8GB memory. The main problem with laptop is that thinking is difficult because Drawing figures is difficult.

I also need to learn photoshop and onenote. And also windows journal inorder to be ready for the use of TABlet PC. I would feel really cool. I can carry my kindle to my classrooms. I can store all my lecture plans on it so that I will never have to prepare anything for any lecture and I would then like to excel in higher physics. (I need to understand the entire feynman lectures, Curl Div Grad, Jackson and Griffiths, and Goldstein to begin with). I will also have to learn to convert DJVU to pdf files.

I got a little less for teaching but I got 2.5 lac for the seminars which is about 15% of my gross. I can really help FIITJEE in that direction. Next year I plan to reach a basic of atleast *****

Learning is my strength and I plan to get started in to SAT II , Vocabulary and Olympiads. Among the lecture plans , I need to work on thermodynamics,WPE, COM , RM and EMI and AC. After that other topics would be fairly easy to make as most of them are already there in my tutorial sheets. After that I need to make my lecture plans for olympiads.

For this I will choose questions from Krotov, Irodov,Arihant, Abhay Kumar Singh, Peter Gnadig, Krane, US university problem book and Abhay kumar singh. I will make topic wise sheets , according to the olympiad syllabus.
I will also help *** with making the presentation for the Ascent batches (Science of success). I will need to sit with the admissions people for making the presentation.
