Tell us about yourself.

I am Sudev Satheesh, B.Sc (Hons.) Math Student from Amrita University. I recently got into IISER TVM after clearing IIT JAM Mathematics Entrance Exams.

I like math, because it has application in varied fields and I love this applied side of mathematics.

Books authored by Herstien and Artin for algebra, Bartle, Apostol for analysis and book titled "Linear algebra done right" for linear algebra helped me a lot. Then I attended courses offered by Edx for differential equations and vector calculus.
