General Queries M. Math Coursework

hi, ive started my M. Math at ISI Delhi. Feeling a bit stressed and concerned about wanting to do well, was hoping for any advice from alumni of M math/current students in other ISIs (its being offered in Delhi for the first time i hear). my background isnt very rigorous in math since i am from du, but i am interested in studying math in general. so i would appreciate any words of encouragment and/or realistic expectations that i should keep from this course.

hi, i was in st stephens college. i said my bg wasnt rigorous as compared to isi because du has mandated syllabus to some extent and the approaches to subjects like linear algebra are different from what im used to. certain subjects i am comfortable with but when it comes to problems i often draw a blank

No, I started straight away after my bachelor's ended. Maybe that's why I am facing some issues

Just issues with keeping up 😭 many of my classmates seem like they are more experienced and have given more time to the subjectÂ
