COURSE OBJECTIVES
 The Objective of this Course is to identify, reflect upon, evaluate and achieve conceptual understanding and
knowledge of traditional Calculus to form independent judgements.
 The purpose of this course is for Modelling the Engineering problems and obtaining its solutions
Mathematically. This helps in understanding Science, Engineering and Computer Science analytically and
logical thinking is attained.
UNIT 1 MATRICES
9 Hrs.
Characteristic equation of a square matrix – Eigen values and Eigen vectors of a real matrix – Properties of eigen values
and eigen Vectors – Cayley-Hamilton theorem (without proof) – verification, finding inverse and power of a matrix –
Diagonalisation of a matrix using orthogonal transformation – Quadratic forms – Nature of quadratic forms – Reduction of
quadratic form to canonical form by orthogonal transformation.
UNIT 2 GEOMETRICAL APPLICATIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS
9 Hrs.
Curvature – centre, radius and circle of curvature in Cartesian co-ordinates – Evolutes – Envelope of family of curves with
one and two parameters – Evolute as envelope of normal.
UNIT 3 FUNCTIONS OF SEVERAL VARIABLES
9 Hrs.
Partial derivatives (Definition) – Total derivative – Jacobian – Taylor’s expansion – Maxima and minima of functions of two
variables – Constrained maxima and minima using Lagrange’s multiplier method.
UNIT 4 INTEGRAL CALCULUS I
9 Hrs.
Definite integrals – Properties of definite integrals and problems – Beta and Gamma integrals – Relation between them –
Properties of Beta and Gamma integrals with proofs – Evaluation of definite integrals in terms of Beta and Gamma function.
UNIT 5 INTEGRAL CALCULUS II
9 Hrs.
Double integrals in Cartesian and Polar co-ordinates – Change of order of integration – Change of variables from Cartesian
to Polar coordinates – Area of plane curves using double integrals – Triple integrals – Volume using triple integrals in
Cartesian co-ordinates (Simple Applications).
Max. 45 Hrs.
COURSE OUTCOMES
On completion of the course, student will be able to
CO1 - Define eigen values and eigen vectors, radius and circle of curvature. Recall properties of definite integrals
CO2 - Understand the concept of partial derivatives to find Jacobian and Taylors series expansion. Explain change of
order of integration.
CO3 - Uses of Cayley Hamilton theorem and its verification. Solve problems in Area and Volume using integration.
CO4 - Point out the stationary points and categorize maxima and minima. Discuss the problems involving Beta and
Gamma integrals.
CO5 - Produce diagonal matrix by transformation of symmetric matrices.
CO6 - Develop the canonical form of a quadratic form. Construct evolutes and envelope of family of curves
