BBT101 Course Outcomes
- Course Objectives:
- The objective of this course is to familiarize the biotechnological engineers with techniques of
- Algebra, permutation and combinations, coordinate geometry, calculus and Differentiability and its
- applications in the real world. It aims to equip the students with standard concepts and tools from
- intermediate to advanced level that will enable them to tackle more advanced levels of mathematics
- and applications that they would find useful in their disciplines.
- The students will learn:
- ▪ The effective mathematical tools of Algebra to solve the linear inequalities.
- ▪ The tools of permutation, combinations, and its applications. Also concepts of sequence
- and Series are introduced.
- ▪ To apply concepts of coordinate geometry in engineering mathematics.
- ▪ The elementary concept of calculus using limits and derivatives.
- ▪ To deal with continuous and differentiable functions to identify the rate of change and its
- applications in real life Situations.
