My dear Learners,
Vanakkam,
I deem it a great privilege to extend a hearty welcome to you to the Under Graduate Programme being offered by
the Tamil Nadu Open University (TNOU). I also appreciate your keen interest to know about the curriculum of the
Programme, in which you shall gain an enthralling experience, and pleasurable and beneficial learning.
With passing a specific act in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly (TNLA) in 2002, the TNOU came into existence as a
State Open University (SOU). It has been offering the socially-relevant academic Programmes in diverse disciplines with
due approval of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Distance Education Bureau (DEB), New Delhi since its
inception. This Undergraduate Programme is one among the approved Programmes.
The Board of Studies, a statutory academic body of the University, consisting of the versatile scholars, eminent teachers
including both internal and external, well- acclaimed industrialists, outstanding alumni, and prospective learners as
members, has designed the robust curriculum of this Programme. The curriculum is overhauled to be more suitable to
the socio-economic and scientific needs in the modern era based on the emerging trends in the discipline at State and
National as well as International level and accordingly, modified to our local context. Moreover, the whole syllabi of this
Programme have special focuses on promoting the learners to the modern learning environment.
With a Credit System / Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), this Programme is offered in semester/ non-semester
pattern. The Self-Learning Materials that are the mainstay of pedagogy in the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) have
been developed incorporating both the traditional and the modern learning tools, like web-resources, multi-media
contents, text books and reference books with a view to providing ample opportunities for sharpening your knowledge
in the discipline.
At this juncture, I wish to place on record my deepest appreciations and congratulations to the Chairperson and the
Members of the Board of Studies concerned for having framed the curriculum of high standard.
I would also like to acknowledge the Director, the Programme Co-Ordinator and the members of staff of the respective
School of Studies for their irrevocable contributions towards designing the curriculum of this Programme.
Last but not least, I register my profuse appreciation to Prof. S. Balasubramanian, Director (i/c), Curriculum Development
Centre (CDC), TNOU, who have compiled this comprehensive Programme Project Report (PPR) that includes the
regulations and syllabi of the Programme, and also facilitated the designing in the form of e-book as well printed book.
I am immensely hopeful that your learning at TNOU shall be stupendous, gratifying, and prosperous.
Wish you all success in your future endeavours!
With warm regards,

Instructional Design:
The Curriculum and the Syllabus for Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Programme has been designed to provide
in basic knowledge in Mathematics to those students who are not having opportunity to study in regular mode and
for drop-out students from rural and urban areas of Tamil Nadu. The main Objective of this Programme is to enable
the students to understand the basic knowledge of pure and applied Mathematics and make them relevant to so-
ciety. The course for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics shall consist of three years ( Six Semester)
and the medium of instruction is English.
The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Programme is offered through the Learner Support Centres established
by TNOU in the affiliated Arts and Science College, where the same Programme is offered through Conventional
Mode.
The Faculty Members available at Department of Mathematics, School of Science of Tamil Nadu Open University
and the faculties approved as Academic Counselors of TNOU at Learner Support Centres will be used for delivering
the Bachelor of Science Degree Programme in Mathematics.

The credits systems suggested as per UGC-ODL Regulations-2020 have been assigned to The Bachelor of Science
in Mathematics Programme. The total number of credit assigned for the Programme is 102. The Self Learning Ma-
terials in the form of print, e-content and audio/video materials wherever required has also been developed for
the Programme.
The Programme Fee is Rs.15000/- for three years, plus Registration and other Charges. The admission are carried
out by Tamil Nadu Open University and through its Regional Centres located within the State of Tamil Nadu. The
Theory Counselling and the Practical Counselling will be conducted through the Learners Support Centres of Tamil
Nadu Open University. The evaluation will be carried by Tamil Nadu Open University consists of Continuous Inter-
nal Assessment through Assignment and External Assessment through Term End Examination.
Financial Assistance:
SC/ST Scholarship available as per the norms of the State Government of Tamil Nadu. Complete Admission fee
waiver for the Physically challenged/ differently abled persons.

Quality Assurance Mechanism and Programme Outcomes:
The Quality of the Bachelor’s degree Programme in Mathematics is maintained by adopting the curriculum sug-
gested by the UGC. As per UGC guidelines the core courses, three elective courses, three subject specific elective
courses, two practical courses are included in the Programme. The Curriculum of Bachelor’s Degree Programme in
Mathematics was approved by the Board of Studies held on 24-06-2020. It is placed before forthcoming Academic
Council and Syndicate of our University subsequently. As a part of Quality assurance, the curriculum for the Pro-
gramme will be updated once in three years. Necessary steps will be taken to obtain feedback from the students
and the Academic Counsellors who are part of the Programme for effective delivery of the Programme.
