Version No. 1.1
Course
Prerequisites
Objectives
This fundamental course on Basic Mathematics provides requisite and relevant
background necessary to understand the other important engineering mathematics
courses. Further this course is a prerequisite for the non mathematics students to learn
further topics of Engineering Mathematics.
Expected Outcome
By the end of the course the students are expected to
(i) solve a system of equations by matrix method
(ii) Know the concept of differentiation, integration and evaluation of area and
volume by integration techniques.
(iii) To explain the concept of ordinary differential equations and have learnt the
methods of solving second order differential equations with constant
coefficients.
(iv) Understand the concept of analytic geometry and vector algebra.
(v) Use the mathematical logic and basic probability for higher studies.
