The Serre spectral sequence of a noncommutative fibration for de Rham cohomology
For differential calculi on noncommutative algebras, we construct a twisted
de Rham cohomology using flat connections on modules. This has properties
similar, in some respects, to sheaf cohomology on topological spaces. We also
discuss generalised mapping properties of these theories, and relations of
these properties to corings. Using this, we give conditions for the Serre
spectral sequence to hold for a noncommutative fibration. This might be better
read as giving the definition of a fibration in noncommutative differential
geometry. We also study the multiplicative structure of such spectral
sequences. Finally we show that some noncommutative homogeneous spaces satisfy
the conditions to be such a fibration, and in the process clarify the
differential structure on these homogeneous spaces. We also give two explicit
examples of differential fibrations: these are built on the quantum Hopf
fibration with two different differential structures.Comment: LaTeX, 33 page
Problem Based Learning (PBL) for Engineering Education in India: Need and Recommendations
Historical footprint of problem based learning (PBL) could be traced back at McMasters University, Canada 1968. Since then, PBL is enriched with development in the literature and multiple PBL models across the world. PBL, has gained importance in modern era of higher education as it has been implemented in many universities across the world in higher education. Although, world is weighing up for PBL and its positive outcomes, it could not extend much in Indian higher education. An objective of this manuscript is to give an overview of PBL across the world and in India. In addition to this, Indian higher education landscape and scope of PBL to Indian engineering education is discussed. Article ends with some recommendations to ensure growth of PBL in India.</p
