Sets and Functions: This unit introduces the concepts
of sets, relations, functions, and their representations. It covers the topics
such as empty set, finite and infinite sets, equal sets, subsets, intervals,
universal set, Venn diagrams, union and intersection of sets, difference and
complement of sets, ordered pairs, Cartesian product of sets, domain, co-domain
and range of a relation, function as a special type of relation, real valued
functions, constant, identity, polynomial, rational, modulus, signum,
exponential, logarithmic and greatest integer functions, and their graphs.
Algebra: This unit deals with the algebraic
expressions and equations, and their properties. It covers the topics such as
principle of mathematical induction, complex numbers and their properties,
quadratic equations, linear inequalities, permutation and combination, binomial
theorem, sequence and series, arithmetic and geometric progressions, arithmetic
and geometric means, relation between A.M. and G.M., and special series.
Coordinate Geometry: This unit explores the geometry
of curves and lines in two dimensions. It covers the topics such as distance
formula, section formula, area of a triangle, locus and its equation,
translation of axes, slope of a line, various forms of equations of a line,
general equation of a line, angle between two lines, conditions for concurrency
of three lines, distance of a point from a line, equations of internal and
external bisectors of angles between two lines, coordinates of centroid, orthocentre
and circumcentre of a triangle, equation of family of lines passing through the
point of intersection of two lines, circles, conic sections, parabola, ellipse
and hyperbola, and their standard equations and properties.
Calculus: This unit introduces the concepts of limits,
continuity, differentiation and integration, and their applications. It covers
the topics such as intuitive idea of limit, limit of a function, algebra of
limits, standard limits, continuity of a function at a point and on an
interval, algebra of continuous functions, derivative of a function, derivative
of sum, difference, product and quotient of functions, derivative of polynomial
and trigonometric functions, chain rule, derivatives of inverse trigonometric
functions, derivative of implicit functions, logarithmic differentiation,
derivative of functions expressed in parametric forms, second order
derivatives, Rolle’s and Lagrange’s Mean Value Theorems, increasing and
decreasing functions, maxima and minima of a function, and indefinite and
definite integrals and their properties.
Statistics and Probability: This unit deals with the
concepts of statistics and probability, and their applications. It covers the
topics such as measures of dispersion, range, mean deviation, variance and
standard deviation of ungrouped/grouped data, analysis of frequency
distributions with equal means but different variances, random experiments,
outcomes, sample spaces, events, algebra of events, mutually exclusive and
exhaustive events, impossible and certain events, probability of an event,
probability of ‘not’, ‘and’ and ‘or’ events, conditional probability,
multiplication theorem on probability, independent events, total probability,
Bayes’ theorem, random variable and its probability distribution, mean and
variance of a random variable, and repeated independent trials and Binomial
distribution.
