Mathematics is the foundation of this universe. Mathematics has been established as a universal ingredient in the understanding of the world and is the language used in conveying this understanding. Now that we have entered the 21st century, higher mathematics is not just a tool for physical scientists and engineers but it is also of crucial importance to business, economics, and even the social sciences.

Evaluation Method
For each 100 marks subject the department conducts external and internal assessment equal to 80 and 20 marks respectively. To pass the subject, the students must acquire minimum marks of 32(out of 80) in external board assessment and an 8(out of 20) in the external assessment. The internal mark is determined by your professor on the basis of completed assignments, tests, attendance, class performance and participation.
