Course Objectives: The main purpose of this course is to teach fundamentals of mathematics to those who have not studied Mathematics at the (10 + 2) level.
After qualifying this course, students will be able to follow the regular course on mathematics being taught at undergraduate level.
Pre-requisites: Students must have knowledge of 10th standard Mathematics which includes quadratic equations, arithmetic progressions, coordinate geometry
and some applications of trigonometry.
