Description <strong>of</strong> Courses172Department <strong>of</strong> Mathematical SciencesMATHEMATICS COURSESMTS101 Calculus-1 & Plane GeometryThis course develops concepts <strong>of</strong> Functions and Algebra<strong>of</strong> Functions, Limits and Continuity <strong>of</strong> Functions,Derivability and Differentiability. After handling thebasic concepts, deeper indulgence in theoreticalconcepts such as the Mean Value Theorems, Higherderivatives, Generalization <strong>of</strong> Mean Value theorem,Taylor's and McLaurin's Expansions, Curve Sketchingand other applications <strong>of</strong> derivatives are taught.Students also explore Integral Calculus by studyingAnti-Derivatives and techniques <strong>of</strong> Integrations,Riemannian Sum, Fundamental Theorem <strong>of</strong> IntegralCalculus. Curves in a plane, differential and integralproperties <strong>of</strong> curves. Successful completion impliesthorough understanding <strong>of</strong> basic univariate calculus.Pre-requisite: College Algebra or Inter/A-Level Math.MTS102 Introduction to StatisticsThis is intended as an introductory course for dataanalysis, presentation and probability. The aim is toacquaint students with the basic methods <strong>of</strong> datahandling which are required for different kinds <strong>of</strong>analysis, as well as to provide them with the requisiteknowledge for taking up courses <strong>of</strong> advances Statisticsand <strong>Business</strong> Research methods in their academicterm.MTS110 Mathematical MethodsThe methods and investigative techniques <strong>of</strong>mathematics as employed in various domains <strong>of</strong>application, is imparted in this course. This coursecovers Complex Numbers, Circular and HyperbolicFunctions and Complex Exponential and Logarithms.Furthermore, students get exposed to InfiniteSequences and Series, as well as theoretical mattersrelating to Convergence <strong>of</strong> Sequences and InfiniteSeries. This also includes Piece-wise, continuous andbounded functions, Periodic Functions, and especiallyFourier Series. A little bit <strong>of</strong> elementary abstract algebrasuch as the concepts <strong>of</strong> Groups, Rings and Fields, als<strong>of</strong>orm part <strong>of</strong> this course. Similarly, some bits <strong>of</strong>elementary linear algebra such as Matrix methods andtheir Algebra, Determinants, and elementary VectorSpaces are also included. Successful students maybe expected to use these methods successfully in anyarea <strong>of</strong> application.MTS202 Statistical Inference (with econometrics lab)This course in intended for sampling, decision analysisand data modeling using sample information. Thiscourse provides basic methods for research andpractice in social and physical sciences and businessadministration. The aim is to acquaint students withthe advanced methods <strong>of</strong> data.Pre-requisite: MTS101, MTS102MTS203 Linear AlgebraThis is a standard sophomore course <strong>of</strong> linear algebra,and aims to ground students in linear algebraicconcepts and structures such as Vector spaces; directsums <strong>of</strong> subspaces <strong>of</strong> a finite dimensional vector space,as well as linear transformations. Deeper issues suchas Dimension theorem, null spaces, image spaces <strong>of</strong>linear transformations, rank and nullity <strong>of</strong> a lineartransformation, relation between rank, nullity, anddimension <strong>of</strong> the domain <strong>of</strong> a linear transformation,etc., are then introduced. Subsequently, students areexposed to advanced concepts such as inner productspaces, Cauchy Schwartz inequality and its application,orthogonal and orthonormal bases, similar matricesand matrix diagonalization. The ultimate aim is toempower students sufficiently so that they may uselinear algebraic techniques in diverse application areas,such as, designing good numerical solution techniquesfor applied problems.MTS211 Discrete MathematicsSymbolism and logic as used in mathematics meritsproper training. This course serves two purposes. Itaims to introduce symbolism and logic as well astreating the subject <strong>of</strong> discrete mathematics at asophomore standard. Topics at a glance include Logic,Discrete Sets, Functions, Algorithms, and theircomplexity, as well as Mathematical Reasoning, andMethods <strong>of</strong> Pro<strong>of</strong>s. Graph theory and Boolean Algebraat the sophomore standard are also treated here.MTS232 Calculus-2 & Solid GeometryConcepts from calculus and geometry are integratedin this course. Topics (in brief) include, multivariatedifferential calculus and their applications; Lines,curves and surfaces in 3D;Surface and Solid <strong>of</strong>Revolution; Double and triple integrals; Arc length,surface area and volumes; Scalar and Vector Fields;Vector Valued Functions and Elementary VectorCalculus; Gradient Divergence and Curl; Theorems <strong>of</strong>Gauss and Green. It is expected that students takingthis course, would develop a good understanding <strong>of</strong>how calculus might be employed for solving geometricalproblems.Pre-requisite: MTS101MTS301 Real AnalysisThis is a pure mathematics real analysis course at thejunior standard. Topics include Ordered sets,completeness properties <strong>of</strong> the real numbers, limits<strong>of</strong> numerical sequences, properties <strong>of</strong> continuousfunctions on closed bounded intervals, Point-wise anduniform convergence. Functions and calculus in severalvariables, properties <strong>of</strong> continuous functions oncompact sets, and Taylor series in Rnwith applications,the inverse and implicit function theorems. This courseaims to provide a pure grounding in Real Analysis andtherefore facilitates related courses such as Stochasticprocesses.Pre-requisite: MTS232
