Pre-requisite:Basic
Mathematics 

Course Objectives: The course


aims: 
1 Cultivate clear thinking and creative problem solving. 2 Thoroughly train in the
construction and understanding of mathematical proofs. 
Exercisecommon mathematical arguments and proof strategies. 3 To apply graph
theory in solving practical problems. 4 Thoroughly prepare for the mathematical
aspects of other Computer Engineering courses 

Course Outcomes: On successful completion, of course, learner/student will


be able to:

Assessme
nt: 

Internal Assessment Test: The assessment consists of two class tests of 20 marks
each. The 1 class test (Internal Assessment I) has to be conducted when approximately
st

40% ofthe syllabus is completed. The 2 class test has to be conducted(Internal


nd

Assessment II) when an additional 40% syllabus is completed. The duration of each
test will be for one hour. 

End Semester Theory


Examination: 
1 The question paper will comprise a total of 6 questions, each carrying 20 marks. 2
Out of the 6 questions, 4 questions have to be attempted. 3 Question 1, based on
the entire syllabus, will have 4sub-questions of 5 marks each and is 
compulsory. 4 Question 2 to Question 6 will have 3 sub-questions,each of 6, 6, and
8 marks, respectively. 5 Each sub-question in (4) will be from different modules of the
syllabus. 6 Weightage of each module will be proportional to the number of lecture
hours,as 
mentioned in the
syllabus.
