BSc (Hons) Mathematics Subjects

BSc Hons Mathematics deals with honors subjects along with pass subjects. Students will get advanced knowledge in Mathematics as compared to a normal BSc Mathematics Syllabus.

BSc (Hons) Subjects First Year

· Calculus: Calculus is concerned with the calculation of instantaneous rates of change and the summation of infinitely many small factors which determines the whole.

· Mechanics: Mechanics are concerned with the relationships between force, matter, and motion among physical objects.

· Algebra: Algebra deals with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols. These symbols represent quantities without fixed values, known as variables.

· Geometry: Geometry is concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

· Differential Equations: It is known as the equation that relates one or more unknown functions and their derivatives. Functions represent physical quantities, while the derivatives represent their rates of change, and a differential equation defines the relationship between the two.

BSc (Hons) Maths Subjects Second Year

· Vector Analysis: Vector analysis deals with quantities that have both magnitude and direction. Some of them are called scalars and can be defined by specifying their magnitude in units of measure.

BSc (Hons) Maths Subjects Third Year

· Numerical Methods: Numerical methods are mathematical tools designed to solve numerical problems. The implementation of these methods with an appropriate convergence checks in a programming language.

· Probability Theory: Probability theory is concerned with the analysis of random phenomena. It means the outcome of a random event cannot be determined before it occurs, there may be any one of several possible outcomes.

· Numerical Methods Practical using C: Numerical Methods Practical using C are fixed point iteration / repeated substitution method, bisection method, regula falsi method, newton raphson method, secant method.

· Linear Programming and Optimization: Linear programming is a method of optimizing operations with the main objective of maximizing or minimizing the numerical value.

Comparision between B.Sc Mathematics and B.Sc (hons) mathematics

Parameters of Comparison	B.Sc (General)	B.Sc (Honours)
Definition	A degree that deals with formulating a stronger grasp of Science without focusing on one specific subject.	A degree that focuses primarily on one chosen subject of Science and specializes in that specific paper only.
Demand	Is in lesser demand in the world of academia.	Is in greater demand in the world of academia.
Scope in future	Has a lesser scope than B.Sc. Honours	Has a greater scope than B.Sc (general).
Subjects of Focus	All subjects under the degree are of equal importance.	One specific subject (mathematics, biology, botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, or economics) is of primary focus.
Value	Conventionally, the degree holds a lesser value than B.Sc Honors.	The degree holds a greater value than B.Sc (general).
