AMTH 202: Multivariate and Vector Calculus 4 credits

Introduction and Specific Objectives

This course takes calculus from the two dimensional world of single variable functions into the three
dimensional world, and beyond, of multivariable functions. Students explore the following topics:
vector geometry and the analytic geometry of lines, planes and surfaces; calculus of curves in two or
three dimensions, including arc length and curvature; calculus of scalar-valued functions of several
variables, including the gradient, directional derivatives and the Chain Rule; Lagrange multipliers and
optimization problems; double integrals in rectangular and polar coordinates; triple integrals in
rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates; calculus of vector fields including line integrals,
curl and divergence, fundamental theorem for line integrals and Green‟s theorem.
In this course our goal will be to master the techniques of calculus in two and three variables, such as
finding and analyzing critical points, and evaluating multiple integrals. More broadly, we will attempt
to develop an underlying geometric intuition that will allow us to understand the problems on a
qualitative (as well as quantitative) level. For the most part our focus will be more on the practical
than the theoretical, in that we will not spend a lot of time on rigorous proofs of theorems. We will
spend a bit of time discussing applications but will be more concerned with ensuring that we‟ve
developed the necessary mathematical toolkit to understand such problems whenever they are
encountered outside of this course.

Learning Outcomes
The students will be able to
 Perform operations with vectors in two and three dimensional space and apply to analytic
geometry.
 Differentiate and integrate vector-valued functions and apply calculus to motion problems in two
and three dimensional space.
 Determine the limits, derivatives, gradients, and integrals of multivariate functions.
 Solve problems in multiple integration using rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate
systems.
 Select and apply appropriate models and techniques to define and evaluate line and surface
integrals; these techniques will include but are not limited to Green‟s, Divergence, and Stoke‟s
theorems.

economics, mathematical economics and statistics with an objective to provide numerical values to

AMTH 412: Quantum Theory and Special Relativity 3 credits

Introduction and Specific Objectives

This course aims to introduce students to field quantisation, scalar field theory and quantum
electrodynamics and to develop calculational techniques in perturbation theory. Special Relativity is
probably the most misunderstood theory of physics. Fewer people know anything about General
Relativity or Quantum Mechanics, but for no other theory in physics have so many people been told
so many things about the theory that are philosophically important and wrong. It is widely agreed that
Einstein taught us that "all things are relative" and "nothing is absolute." Neither of these are any part
of Special Relativity, which simply gives transformation rules that allow one person to translate his
measurements so that they will agree with the measurements of other, moving, people. We need some
of these transformation rules for particle physics, especially the rules about energies, and we might as
well learn a little about the conceptual aspects of special relativity while we are at it.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, students should understand field quantisation and the expansion of the
scattering matrix and to be able to carry out practical calculations based on Feynman diagrams.

AMTH 460: Honours Project 3 credits

Introduction and Specific Objectives

Each student is required to work on a project and present a project report for evaluation. Such projects
should be extensions or applications of materials included in different honours courses and may
involve field work and use of technology. There may be group projects as well as individual projects.
The Academic Committee shall form a Project Coordination and Evaluation Committee (PCEC) at the
beginning of the session. The PCEC shall consist of a project Coordinator (PC) and members as the
Academic Committee considers appropriate. The PC shall invite projects from the teachers before the
class start. Each teacher should submit three project proposal should include a short description of the
project. Such projects should be extension or applications of materials included in different courses,
and may involve fieldwork and use of technology.
The PCEC shall assign each group a project. The members of each group shall work independently on
the assigned project under the supervision of the concerned teacher. The PCEC and the supervisors
will monitor the progress of different projects.

Completion of project
The project must be completed before the termination of the classes. Each student is required to
prepare a separate report on the project. Each report should be of around 40 pages typed on one side
of A4 size white paper preferably using word processors. Graphs and figures should be clearly drawn
preferably using computers. Reports of different students working on the same group project should
differ in some details and illustrations.
The Academic Committee will select a date for the submission of the project reports to the PCEC.
Each student must submit three printed copies of her/his project report to the PCEC on or before the
date announced for such submission.
The PCEC, on receiving the reports will arrange the presentation of reports by individual students
before the PCEC. This presentation should take place soon after the completion of the written
examination.
Any student who fails to submit the report on the due date or to present the thesis on the fixed date
will not get any credit for this course.
