Course Objectives and Outcomes

Name of the Course Objectives Course Outcome
Differential Calculus Differential calculus is used to find the maximum and minimum values of a function and also to find out the approximate value of a small change in a quantity. Students will be able to find out the maxima and minima of function and how to check the continuity of function.
Differential Equation It helps to find out the solution of differential equation by using different methods, i.e., direct integration, separation of variables, and integrating factor method. Students will be able to recognise differential equations that can be solved by each of three methods - direct integration, separation of variables, and integrating factor method.
Real Analysis Real analysis is used to study the behavior of real numbers, functions, sequences, and series. Students will be able to learn the fundamental properties of real numbers and the theory of sequences and series, including convergence.
Algebra Algebra helps to understand the properties and operations of algebraic structures like groups, rings, and fields. Students will be able to identify the groups, rings, and fields by using their properties.
Integral Calculus Integral calculus helps to find out the area and volume under the curve by dividing it into infinite rectangles of very small width and adding up their areas. Students will be able to find out the area and volume under the curves.
Vector Calculus Vector calculus helps to learn how to compute dot and cross products, partial derivatives, and directional derivatives. Students will be able to solve the cross and dot product problems and directional derivatives.
Matrices Matrices help to find out the solution of equations with more than two or three variables. Students will be able to solve the equations with more than two or three variables.
Numerical Method Numerical methods help to design and analyse techniques to find approximate but accurate solutions to challenging problems. Students will be able to solve the roots of equations by using different methods such as the bisection method, regula falsi method, etc.
Probability and Statistics Probability is used to predict the likelihood of something happening, and statistics helps to represent complex data in a way that's easy to understand. Students will be able to solve applied problems by using the concept of probability and statistics.
Transportation and Game Theory Transportation problems are used to find the minimum cost of transportation of goods from m source to n destination, and the goal of game theory is to explain the strategic actions of two or more players in a given situation with set rules and outcomes. Students will be able to manage to recognize and formulate precise questions about strategic situations and understand the theoretical tools to address these questions.
