physical director cleared our doubts.

Session I:

Dr.Murugananthan spoke about the role of chemistry in engineering.

He said that transistors are made up of silicone and transparent
polymers are used to make screens which are obviously applications of
chemistry. He asked about the elements that have caused a great
revolution and spoke about it. He asked about the elements in Human
body and we had a discussion on it. Then he spoke about the evolution
of computers from those having vacuum tubes to those having
microprocessors. Thus he made clear that Chemistry plays an important
role in engineering and falsified the pseudo fact that chemistry has
nothing to do with engineering.

Session II:

Our Maths Professor commenced this session by asking us to give the

definition of electrical engineering and asked us the reason for choosing
electrical and electronics engineering. She asked our views

responsible for melting of cars parked in a specific location because of a
parabolic structure on its top. She spoke about the use of parabolic dish
antennas for receiving radio signals. She said that even if we had a top
end dish antenna and a Television we need mathematics to establish
the connection, that is the dish antenna has to be set at a specific
angle. Then she told the mathematics syllabus and added that in
college we will learn the application of calculus topics that we learnt in
Higher Secondary education. From her speech one could witness that
mathematics is very important for engineering.

mathematical problems we should know about functions. She briefly
explained linear and non-linear functions. Initially she drew the graph
of y=x and then explained how the graphs of y=x and y=-x are varied.
She said that from dy/dx of the function y, we could know how the
graph changes when a number is added or subtracted to the function.
Then she drew the graph of x+1 and taught us how to write it in

intercept form. She taught us how to draw the graph of y=(x-1)² and y=-
(x-1)² using the graphs of y=x²and y=-x² respectively. She also taught us
how to draw the graph of y=(x-1)² + 1 using the graph of y=x². She said
that those basics would help us sketch many other functions. She
briefly explained vertical line test, differentiable functions, periodic and
a periodic functions. She said that calculus, study of change, is used to
relate two different parameters. She mentioned that all the problems in
