1. Introduction to Course
1.1 Importance of the Course
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics which deals with linear equations, vector spaces
or linear spaces. In this course we will be learning about vector space, subspaces, linear
combination, linearly dependent and linearly independent vectors, and basis of vector space,
dimension, and rank-nullity theorem
Differential equation is concerned with relating quantities, which vary in a non-linear way. It
is used extensively in science and engineering (like velocity, acceleration, and current in a
circuit etc., for which the function may be linear or non-linear.). If a system (involving
independent and dependent variables) is dynamic, then study of differential equation helps to
analyse the behaviour of the parameters. The study of differential equation and its
applications to Science and Industrial problems is the most significant factor in the
development of modern science.

1.2 Objective of the Course

Foundation Mathematics-II aims at the study of -

 advanced module of vectors spaces and related topics

 eigen values and eigen vectors of a square matrix and its applications
 find the solution of differential equations and its applications which helps in
developing analytical and logical thinking
1.3 Pre-requisite
 Fundamental knowledge of matrix algebra, Ordinary and partial differentiation of
functions.

Students are expected to review these concepts before coming to class.

2. Course Outcomes (CO)
After successful completion of the course, a student will be able to-
1. comprehend basic concept of linear algebra
2. apply the knowledge of linear algebra in engineering problems.
3. Solve ordinary and partial differential equations as mathematical models of physical
problems.

3.1 Self-study

Basic principles and methodology will be explained in the class. It is expected that the
students put in at least two hours of self-study for every one hour of class room teaching.
Further, around 10% of the questions will be asked from the following self-study topics-
 Eigen values and eigen vectors
 Lagrange’s multipliers method
Students are expected to study above mentioned topics on their own. These topics will not be
taught in the classroom. Students should refer to books available in the library for the same.

Assignment Evaluation Class Test -
60% 40%
(Maximum 60 marks) (Maximum 40 marks)

5.2 Assessment Policy for Continuous Evaluation (CE)

Assessment of Continuous Evaluation comprises of three components.

1. Class Test will be conducted as per academic calendar. It will be conducted offline for
the duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes or in the online mode it will be conducted in the
form of Comprehensive Assignment.

2. There will be 3 assignments each carrying weightage of 20 marks. At the end of the
course total marks obtained out of 60 will be calculated. Assessment of assignments
 will be carried out based on parameters like timely submission, neat and clean work,
originality, involvement of the student, regularity, discipline etc.

8. Teaching-learning methodology:

1. Lectures: Primarily Chalk and Black board will be used to conduct the course.
However, where required, Power Point Presentations (PPTs), Video Lectures,
Simulations / Animations etc. will be used to enhance the teaching-learning process.

2. Tutorial: Emphasis will be on one-to-one interaction with students for clearing their
doubts in problem solving, derivations, application of mathematical models to real
systems etc.

9. Active learning techniques

Active learning is a method of learning in which students are actively or experientially

involved in the learning process. Following active learning techniques will be adopted for the
course.

1. Flipped Class-room: This technique is adopted for topic mentioned in self-study.

Short video lectures/ Handouts are viewed by students at home before the class
session, while in-class time is devoted to group discussions.

2. Muddiest Point: This technique is aimed at finding out the least understood
point/topic in the session. This is then further explained to ensure that it is understood
well.

10. Course Material:

 Course Policy
 PPTs, Notes, Handouts
 Tutorials
 Question bank
 Useful links (Applications)

11. Course Outcome Attainment:

Following means will be used to assess attainment of course learning outcomes.

 Use of formal evaluation components of continuous evaluation, tutorials and semester
end examination
 Informal feedback during course conduction

12. Academic Integrity Statement

Students are expected to carry out assigned work under Continuous Evaluation (CE)
component independently. Copying in any form is not acceptable and will invite strict
disciplinary action. Evaluation of corresponding component will be affected proportionately
in such cases. Academic integrity is expected from students in all components of course
assessment.
