Revision notes of Mathematics + Answer Copy

-


Below is the link to the revision notes I prepared for my mathematics optional. This should give one a decent idea of what I tried to include in them based on my understanding on what is important.


I have tried to keep them error-free as much as possible. In any case, apologies in advance for any inadvertent errors which may have crept in them.


Wish you all the best !

P.S. : The notes of numerical methods are far from satisfactory and one should refrain from relying completely on them.



Also attached below is one of my answer scripts of a mock test I had given last year. This should be sufficient to enable one to understand the answer writing aspect of this optional. Be mindful of the fact that there are a few errors in the correction.

    Could you also please upload a sample of paper 1 checked answer script? It would be useful to see the approach in few topics like statics / dynamics etc.

      the approach for such questions was similar to how i have solved questions in my notes which i have uploaded above. Also I do not have any solved and checked answer copy of paper 1 with me at the moment. If i come across it at a later stage, i would upload it.

      Sir, are their any particular model numbers of the scientific calculator that are allowed or any variant of a scientific calculator can be taken into the exam hall?

    Sir , In calculus how to check continuity of two variable function at a point. Though it is easy to prove discontinuity by approaching from different paths but no specific method for continuity. Even for approaching through polar method mentioned in malik and arora requires to know that function is continuous beforehand. Also from where to study conceptual part of area , surface and volume of integral calculus. Malik and Arora covers few concepts as well as questions. Or any other book which could be referred for these topics as I have referred only Malik and Arora for calculus ?

      Such uncertainties while attempting a question on calculus will always remain. There does not exist a full-proof universal method for showing continuity. So one needs to improvise a bit in questions on calculus in the exam. Just practise what is there in the book and try to fit in one of the methods of the book with the question's demand. Area, surface and volume integral, focus more on problem solving from Malik and Arora itself. If at all you wish you could go for Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Shanti Narayan

      Do not bother much with the test scores, they need not reflect your final scores. Just focus on using the test series as a means of identifying the problem areas and rectifying them in time for the actual exam.

      So, first of all be careful of the correction. The answer sheet I have uploaded contains some errors in correction. Also I have been unable to find other answer booklets as of now, will upload them soon if I get them.

Maths paper 1 - Pointers + book list

Paper 1  (updated with chapter details) Points to ponder :  The syllabus of Paper 1 of Mathematics is easier to tackle as compared to Paper 2.  Topics like Linear Algebra, Vector Analysis, ODE are easier to handle while others like Statics and Dynamics, Analytic Geometry require a greater degree of practise and effort. So, one can plan accordingly while preparing the topics. The main issue in this paper is that of accuracy, as a lot of questions of Paper 1 require calculations which are prone to errors.  There have been instances in the exam where I had to skip the optional questions of my favoured topics like statics-dynamics, calculus and opt for questions on analytic geometry (which I always felt I was not good at), hence a decent practise of all the topics is desirable in this paper. One should try to select familiar questions in the exam as far as possible. This reduces the chances of having to switch questions midway (I paid a price for switching a question

Maths paper 2 - Pointers + book list

Paper 2 (updated with chapter details) Points to ponder :  The syllabus of Paper 2 of Mathematics is slightly tricky when compared to Paper 1, especially due to presence of topics like Algebra and Fluid Dynamics. A general trend in recent times has been the mixing of questions of different topics in all the optional questions. This means that one has to have some degree of acquaintance with all the topics of the paper. For those not very conversant with fluid dynamics, it would pay more to focus more on Algebra and Real Analysis so as to avoid having to select two optional questions from Section II of this paper. I adopted this strategy, having more or less pre-decided to prefer selecting two questions from section 1, giving more emphasis on modern algebra and real analysis. This did not work for me in CSE-2016 though, as questions out of CSE syllabus were asked then - this is also a reason why a basic coverage of all the topics is essential. I had tried to
