B.Tech II Year II Semester (R18)

Pre-requisites

Mathematics courses in first two years of study

Objectives

To learn

  • Most of the random situations are described as functions of many single random variables. In this unit, the objective is to learn functions of many random variables through joint distributions and ANOVA
  • The random processes, The classification of random processes, Markov chain, Classification of states
  • Stochastic matrix (transition probability matrix) Limiting probabilities, Applications of Markov chains
  • Various methods to find the roots of an equation
  • Fitting linear, non- linear and exponential curves for the given data.
  • The concept of interpolation and fitting a interpolating polynomial.
  • Concept of finite differences and to estimate the value for the given data using interpolation.
  • Finding the derivatives and proper integrals of given functions using finite differences.
  • Solving ordinary differential equations using numerical techniques. Course outcomes: After learning the contents of this paper the student must be able to
  • Formulate and solve problems involving the multiple random variables and the ANOVA for analysing the experimental data.
  • The student would able to understand about the random process, Markov process and Markov chains which are essentially models of many time dependent processes such as signals in communications, time series analysis, queuing systems. The student would be able to find the limiting probabilities and the probabilities in nth state.
  • Find a better approximate root of a given equation.
  • Fit a linear, non-linear and exponential curve for the given data.
  • Find the finite difference operators in a given data or value of the dependent variable for a given independent variable
  • Evaluate the derivative at a given value and integral of a function.
  • Solve the initial value problems.
