I. RATIONALE
Basic Mathematics plays a crucial role in diploma programmes as it fosters the development of critical thinking
skills, enhances quantitative literacy, prepares students for higher education, promotes problem-solving abilities,
cultivates logical and abstract thinking and fosters mathematical literacy. By engaging with Mathematics, students
acquire logical reasoning, problem-solving techniques and analytical thinking, which are valuable for lifelong
learning and professional growth. Calculus is a branch of Mathematics that calculates how matter, particles and
heavenly bodies actually move. Derivatives are useful to find maxima and minima of the function, velocity and
acceleration are also useful for many engineering optimization problems. Statistics can be defined as a type of
mathematical analysis which involves the method of collecting and analyzing data and then summing up the data
into a numerical form for a given set of factual data or real-world observations. It equips individuals with the ability
to interpret numerical information, make informed decisions and navigate real-world situations. Moreover,
Mathematics provides a foundation for further studies in various disciplines and prepares students to tackle complex
challenges. By exploring abstract concepts and logical structures, students develop their ability to reason, make
connections, and approach problems with clarity and precision. Furthermore, studying Mathematics helps students
appreciate the historical and cultural significance of Mathematics and its applications in diverse fields, thereby
fostering mathematical literacy and a deeper understanding of the world. Hence the course provides the insight to
analyze engineering problems scientifically using logarithms, matrices, trigonometry, straight line, differential
calculus and statistics. By incorporating these topics, students comprehend to approach engineering problems from
a mathematical perspective, enabling them to devise efficient and effective solutions and this leads to preparing
Diploma graduates well-rounded, adaptable and capable of making significant contributions to the branch-specific
problems.
CO1 - Apply the concepts of algebra to solve engineering (discipline) related problems.
CO2 - Utilize trigonometry to solve branch specific engineering problems.
CO3 - Solve area specific engineering problems under given conditions of straight lines.
CO4 - Apply differential calculus to solve discipline specific problems.
CO5 - Use techniques and methods of statistics to crack discipline specific problems.

Note :
Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of
microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in
acquiring the desired skills.
If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
For courses with no SLA component the list of suggestive microprojects / assignments/ activities are
optional, faculty may encourage students to perform these tasks for enhanced learning experiences.
