General Relativity Notes

Published:

This lecture note closely follow video lectures on General Relativity and Cosmology given by Professor Thanu Padmanabhan at IISER, Pune during Jan-April 2009, and his book Gravitation which complements these video lectures nicely.

Advanced General Relativity Notes (VL)

Published:

These lecture notes closely follow video lectures on General Relativity by Prof. Eric Poisson at the Perimeter Institute. Some of the content which was not discussed at all or at length in these video lectures are covered in the book. I have also made notes of the book which can be found here.

Black hole Quasinormal Modes

Published:

This report was prepared for the completion of the summer project on QNMs. The code repository for finding eigenvalues with WKB approximation and Continued fraction methods can be found here: Code Repository

Cosmology and Statistics Notes

Published:

These lecture notes covers topics such as basics of cosmology (FLRW, Lambda CDM, cosmological observables, inflation), cosmic distance ladder (Cepheids, Planetary nebulae, SN-Ia, GRBs), standard sirens, correlation function and power spectrums, variable Chaplygin gas, statistical techniques for data modelling such as method of least squares, orthogonal distance regression method, minimum chi-square method and maximum likelihood method.
