Description
BSc is an important stage for Science education and research in India. Students studying in BSc now will provide the workforce of teachers at all levels, schools, colleges, and universities and also drive the research in science. Unfortunately, there is a big crisis of committed and competent teachers in colleges, especially in rural areas and students do not get the divine flavor of the beauty of Science. The courses on this portal are basically focused on BSc level Physics.
Special Theory of Relativity is a very fascinating subject and the results look like coming from some wonderland. A mathematical analysis of all these itself is a very rich experience. A basic course has already been given at this portal in Hindi. The present one will be a slightly advanced version of this topic.
