Syllabus RKMV

This document outlines the topics covered in a Mathematics Generic Elective course. The course is divided into two groups - Group A focuses on geometry topics like transformations, conic sections, and polar coordinates. Group B covers algebra topics such as complex numbers, polynomials, groups, rings, vectors spaces, and eigenvectors. The course aims to teach fundamental concepts in both geometry and algebra at a higher secondary or equivalent level over one semester with lectures and lab sessions.
