REVISED SYLLABUS
1. Matrices: Periods-18
Concept, notation, order, equality, types of matrices, zero matrix, transpose of a
matrix, symmetric and skew symmetric matrices. Addition, multiplication and scalar
multiplication of matrices, simple properties of addition, multiplication and scalar
multiplication. Non-commutativity of multiplication of matrices and existence of non-
zero matrices whose product is the zero matrix (restrict to square matrices of order 2).
Invertible matrices and proof of the uniqueness of inverse, if it exists; (Here all
matrices will have real entries).
2. Determinants: Periods-20
Determinant of a square matrix (up to 3 × 3 matrices), minors, cofactors and
applications of determinants in finding the area of a triangle. Adjoint and inverse of a
square matrix. Consistency, inconsistency and number of solutions of system of linear
equations by examples, solving system of linear equations in two or three variables
(having unique solution) using inverse of a matrix.
3. Integrals: Periods- 20
to be evaluated.
Definite integrals as a limit of a sum(not for evaluation). Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus (without proof). Basic properties of definite integrals and evaluation of
definite integrals.
Applications in finding the area under simple curves, especially lines, arcs of
circles/parabolas/ellipses (in standard form only), area between the two above said
curves (the region should be clearly identifiable).
1.Vectors: Periods- 10
Vectors and scalars, magnitude and direction of a vector. Direction cosines/ratios of
vectors. Types of vectors (equal, unit, zero, parallel and coplanar vectors), position
vector of a point, negative of a vector, components of a vector, addition of vectors,
multiplication of a vector by a scalar, position vector of a point dividing a line
segment in a given ratio. Scalar (dot) product of vectors, projection of a vector on a
line. Vector (cross) product of vectors,
