B.Tech II Year I Semester (R22)

Pre-requisites

Mathematics courses of first year of study.

Course Objectives

To learn

  • The ideas of probability and random variables and various discrete and continuous probability distributions and their properties.
  • The basic ideas of statistics including measures of central tendency, correlation and regression.
  • The statistical methods of studying data samples.
  • Differentiation and integration of complex valued functions.
  • Evaluation of integrals using Cauchy’s integral formula and Cauchy’s residue theorem.
  • Expansion of complex functions using Taylor’s and Laurent’s series. Course outcomes: After learning the contents of this paper the student must be able to
  • Formulate and solve problems involving random variables and apply statistical methods for analyzing experimental data.
  • Apply concept of estimation and testing of hypothesis to case studies.
  • Analyze the complex function with reference to their analyticity, integration using Cauchy’s integral and residue theorems.
  • Taylor’s and Laurent’s series expansions of complex function.
