Opening Ceremony on Subject Exam and Introduction to Subject Exam
Advantages of Exam for an Admission and financial Aid for MS / PhD Level of difficulty of the Exam Time required for preparation to target exam in Nov each year Resources and books recommended for the exam Importance For Management and Computer Science Students Useful in Research and applicability Solving and discussion on GRE9768, GRE9367, GRE8767, GR0568, 5 Test by ACRO (in all 10 tests to be covered for AGRE) Many book reviews (Advanced Engineering Mathematics 8th Erwin Kreyszig, Calculus Tom IN. Apostol Part 1 and 2) & summary of books on AGRE Maths
Calculus - 50% Material learned in the usual sequence of elementary calculus courses differential and integral calculus of one and of several variables - includes calculusbased applications and connections with coordinate geometry, trigonometry, differential equations, and other branches of mathematics Algebra - 25% Elementary algebra: basic algebraic techniques and manipulations acquired in high school and used throughout mathematics Linear algebra: matrix algebra, systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, characteristic polynomials, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors Abstract algebra and number theory: elementary topics from group theory; theory of rings and modules, field theory, and number theory Additional Topics - 25% Introductory real analysis: sequences and series of numbers and functions, continuity, differentiability and integrability, and elementary topology of R and Rn Discrete mathematics: logic, set theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and algorithms Other topics: general topology, geometry, complex variables, probability and statistics, and numerical analysis The above descriptions of topics covered in the test should not be considered exhaustive; it is necessary to understand many other related concepts. Prospective test takers should be aware that questions requiring no more than a good precalculus background may be quite challenging; some of these questions turn out to be among the most difficult questions on the test. In general, the questions are intended not only to test recall of information but also to assess test takers' understanding of fundamental concepts and the ability to apply those concepts in various situations.
About the Extreme Max Session
This session will be of 5 hours Pre-Calculus (2 hours) Calculus 1 (1 hour) Calculus 2 (1 hour) Differential equations (1 hour) Which all accounts to around 50% of the exam 50% of exam in 5 hours session
Know about the applicability This studies help you in long term
Application of learning Mathematical finance Example: Partial differentiation, probability Quantitative Marketing Example:
What is business decision making
Probability Statistics Continuous & discreet functions Regression Time series Models Time-frequency analysis

Plan for Each Day
Theory of the Chapter and its application in various subjects Solved Numerical in the Subject Test for each chapter of around 20 Question from the 5 tests released by ETS with detailed solutions Formulae book of each chapter to be given Each topic to end with question of the real exam Doubt clearing sessions
Pre- Calculus (Day 1)
Functions Analytical Geometry Polynomial Equations Logarithms Trigonometry Target questions 20
Business Examples
Cost is function of time Many variations may be either of the curves we study here like earths motion around sun is elliptic, why? Degree two equations must be solved Exponential and logarithmic means that effect of the problems is dependent as we go along ie. Increasing as a exponential function
