PREAMBLE

All engineering problems can be solved using appropriate mathematical models. This is
achieved by having a deeper understanding of the concepts on various topics in Mathematics.
This course provides a foundation to meet these objectives. Eigen values and eigen vectors
are widely used in various decomposition techniques. Further, deep knowledge of curvature,
evolute and envelopes, finding the extreme points of a given function and the concepts of
line, surface and volume integrals are applied in all branches of engineering. In addition,
students learn the technique of evaluating integration problems numerically using
Trapezoidal, Simpson and Gaussian methods. The understanding of these concepts and the
problem-solving techniques are appropriately covered in this course.

OBJECTIVES

The objective of this course is to enable the student

• To reduce quadratic form to canonical form of a matrix and identify its nature
• To study the concept of evolutes and envelopes
• To find the extreme values for a function of two variables
