Introduction: Maths as an
optional subject
Before starting with the strategy I would like to
answer a common question: What is the final score
vis--vis correct attempt? It is true that there is heavy
moderation of marks in science subjects especially in
mathematics. But despite that it is possible to score
very high. My final score and correct attempt paper
wise is:

Paper I Topics
1. Linear Algebra Focus should on understanding
the definition of various terms mentioned in the
syllabus (like vector spaces, subspaces,
linear dependence and so on). While answering
questions explain all the steps.
2. CalculusSingle variable calculus is not a
problem for candidates. Refer to chapters
(book I mentioned in the booklist) that deal with
continuity and differentiability for 2 variables.
For double and triple integration also refer to
that book. The solved examples from that book
are sufficient. The relevant chapters
are:12,13,15,16,17,18. Theory is not important ,
just understand the techniques through solved
examples.
3. Analyt ic Geomet ry Refer book by PN
Chaterjee(Rajhans Publications). This book
contains solved examples and all the questions
are taken from this book.
4. Ordinary Dif f erent ial Equat ions In this topic it
is better to make a sheet of all the formulas
and techniques. Practice all the solved
questions of the book I have mentioned.
5. Dynamics and St at icsCompleting the Krishna
Series books(do only topics mentioned in the
syllabus) will be sufficient for attempting 60
marks question. Common Catenary, central
orbits, constrained motion should be covered in
depth(that is do all the solved examples). For
rest of the topics covering only few examples is
sufficient.
6. Vect or Analysis In this topic make the formula
sheet. And practice previous year questions.
Regularly practice the derivations asked in the
exam.
2. Algebra- I. N. Herstein
3. Elements of Real Analysis -MD. Raisinghania(S.
Chand)
4. Complex Analysis Krishna Series
5. Linear Programming - Krishna Series
6. Partial Differential Equations- M.D. Raisinghania
+ (Some portion of book on Boundary Value
Problem by S. Chand)
7. Numerical Analysis Jain and Iynger
8. Fluid Dynamics M.D. Raisinghania
9. Mechanics Krishna Series (Rigid Dynamics
vol.-1 and Vo.-II)
10. For Linear Algebra and Vector Analysis, I could
not find any books relevant to the exam. So I
referred to Brilliant Tutorials material to practice
questions.
