Offering Department Mathematics
B.Tech Branches to which this course AIl B.Tech branches
is offered
Overview:
The course on Mathematics-I is offered in the first semester of all the
branches of B.Tech first year students. The objective is to provide
fundamental and essential mathematical tools to apply all streams of
undergraduate studies in engineering. The course consists of topics in
calculus of function of one and multiple variables, partial derivatives,
maxima/minima, convergence of infinite series, curve tracing,
evaluation of integrals (single and multiple) with application to various
engineering problems. At the end of this course, students will be able to
learn how the working mechanism of a function changes from one
dimension to multiple dimension including its continuity, calculation of
limit, differentiation, and most importantly, integration. Finally, the
students will also learn various tests to examine the convergence of
infinite series with application in science and engineering discipline.

D. Self Study
Sr. Topic Unit
No.
The ancient Indian civilization (particularly during the Vedic |-V
period)made significant contributions to the field of mathenmatics such as
1. Sulba Sutra, Decimal system and Zero, Vedic Mathematics. Students
may explore the relation between the modern calculus and the vedic
sutras.
2. The Sulba Sutras are a collection of ancient texts that are part of the
larger Vedic literature. These texts contain some of the earliest known
mathematical concepts and techniques for geometry and algebra. They
include methods for geometric constructions, such as constructing right
angles, squares, rectangles, and circles. The students may explore more
about the sulba sutra.
3. Decimal System and Zero: The concept of zeroasa placeholder and as a
numeral was also introduced by Indian mathematicians, Aryabhata (c.
476-550 CE), and it laid the foundation for modern arithmetic and
algebra. The students may explore more about it and relate it to the
modern algebra.
4. Mathematician of the 12th century, Bhaskar Acharya gave the basic idea
of the Rolle's theorum and was the first to conceive of differential
caleulus. The students may explore more about it.
5. Infinite series for pi: In 1914, Ramanujan found a formula for infinite V
series for pi, which forms the basis of many algorithms used today.
Finding an accurate approximation of z (pi) has been one of the most
important challenges in the history of mathematics. The students may
explore more about it.
