Calculus: limit, Functions of single variable, continuity and differentiability, Indeterminate forms and L'Hospital rule, Mean value theorems, Maxima and minima, Taylor's series. Fundamental and mean value-theorems of integral calculus. Newton’s method for finding roots of polynomials. Numerical integration by trapezoidal and Simpson’s rule. Evaluation of definite and improper integrals, Beta & Gamma functions, Functions of two variables, continuity, limit, partial derivatives, total derivatives, Euler's theorem for homogeneous functions, maxima and minima, Lagrange method of multipliers, double integrals & their applications, series and sequence, tests for convergence, Fourier Series, power series, Half range sine as well cosine series.

Complex variables: Cauchy-Riemann equations, Analytic functions, Line integral, Cauchy's integral theorem and integral formula Laurent' series and Taylor’s, Residue theorem & its applications.

Equations: Higher order linear differential equations with constant coefficients, parameters method, Cauchy-Euler's equations, Legendre polynomials and Bessel's functions of the first kind and their properties, power series solutions. Numerical solutions of first order ordinary differential equations by Runge-Kutta and Euler’s methods.

Probability: Definitions of probability and simple theorems, Bayes Theorem and conditional probability.
