WELCOME TO YOUR MATHS LECTURE

Topic: AM,GM,HM Inequality – lecture 1

Faculty: Vaibhav Barnwal (M4 Sir)
Few things to keep in mind
• Students are advised to watch the lecture either on a laptop or tablet (phone would be too small)
• I will be sharing pdf of notes once the lecture gets over but …
• However, students are strongly advised to make thick notebook for Maths classwork
• Separate rough notebook (thick) can be made for Maths Homework
• After the lecture is complete, video link of the lecture will be shared on the Telegram Channel
On this zoom platform
• You have an option to raise hands, unmute & ask your queries
• You also have an option to ask doubts over chat/ post your answers
• Ask me to repeat/ go slow if you feel you haven’t understood or if pace is fast
• Sometimes there are lags (video/audio) due to interruption in internet
• In such cases, patiently inform the teacher & teacher would repeat the concept again
 AM GM HM INEQUALITY

AM, GM & HM of two +ve numbers a & b are A, G & H
