PPSC Lecturer Mathematics 2004

This document contains a written test for a lecturer position in mathematics. It consists of 7 questions testing various math concepts. Question 1 involves solving a differential equation and proving a trigonometric identity. Question 2 covers vector addition and vector cross products. The remaining questions cover topics such as linear transformations, matrix algebra, group theory, optimization, integration, and real analysis concepts like monotonic sequences and least upper bounds. Annotations provide the number of marks allocated to each sub-question. The document also includes information about the test duration, maximum marks, and a note to attempt any 5 questions. It ends with references to the hosting website for more math resources.
