Course Learning Outcomes :
SN. Course Learning Outcomes
After completing this course, the learning outcomes are as follows: 1. Understand to use various sets as representations of relations or functions by
1
the analysis of graphical, numeric, or symbolic data.
2 2. To analyze and find new results using various techniques.
3. Apply the concepts in the other branches of Mathematics such as Matrices are applied in the study of electrical circuits, quantum mechanics and
3
optics. It helps in the calculation of battery power outputs, resistor conversion of electrical energy into another useful energy.
4. Students will be able to apply the fundamental counting principle, ability to calculate permutation and combination, binomial theorem and concept
4
of matrices in real life situations
Pedagogy for Course Delivery :
SN. Pedagogy Methods
1 The course pedagogy will include four quadrant approach i.e. video lectures, presentations, e-content, discussions and Assessments.
2 All the topics covered in the syllabus will be correlated with its applications in real life situations and in other disciplines.
In order to inculcate problem solving ability in students’ time-to-time quiz, viva, home assignments and class tests will be conducted during the
3
progress of semester.
4 Extra sessions for revision will be undertaken.
