What's the Secret to Acing Math Interviews? Tutorial 1 

Hiii Dr. Ganguly, I have greatly enjoyed watching your playlist, "Turbocharge Your English," and I truly appreciate the effort and expertise you put into creating such valuable content. I am writing to request that you consider starting a series focused on academic writing, including topics such as papers, proposals, reviews, projects, and reports. Similar to "Math Mastery" series, a well-structured course on academic writing would be immensely beneficial, especially as there is a noticeable lack of comprehensive resources on this subject available on RU-vid. Such a series would be a significant aid to new entrants in academia, providing them with the tools and knowledge necessary to excel in their academic endeavors. Your expertise and teaching style would undoubtedly make this a highly impactful and appreciated resource.
