COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 To encourage students to develop a working knowledge of the central ideas of Linear Algebra.
 To enable students to understand the concepts of Probability and Random Variables.
 To make students understand the notion of a Markov chain, and how simple ideas of conditional probability and matrices can be used to give a thorough and effective account of discrete-time Markov chains.
 To familiarize the students with the formulation and construction of a mathematical model for a linear programming problem in real life situation.
 To introduce the Fourier Transform as an extension of Fourier techniques on parodic functions and to solve partial differential equations.
