Ranjit Krishnan Nair

We'll discuss the minimum possible time in which a man or a boat can cross the river and then we'll understand how crossing with shortest path is different from crossing in shortest possible time. We'll see that crossing with the shortest possible path leads to minimum drift and we'll also see the condition required for zero Drift followed by the condition required for minimum but non-zero drift.
