Education Interest

Engineering Mathematics, as a subject, is very much relevant to the GATE exam as the
weight-age given to this subject has been consistent over the years in comparison to

other subjects. Every year you can nd the weight-age of this subject to be 8 to 10
marks.

one time is overwhelming. So the key to prepare for such subjects is to keep short
notes handy with you or maybe you can have a sort of Formula Sheet so that you can
look up to a concept whenever you need it.

Linear Algebra

Latest from Shiksha Cafe

While preparing for Linear Algebra, focus must be on Eigenvalue Problems and also
the Matrix algebra as almost every-time there will be a question from either of these
two topics. One must also remember the properties of eigenvalues like the relation
between eigenvalues of two matrices which are inverse of each other and other

similar properties.No need to get involved in the basis vectors and span of basis
vectors to form an n-dimensional space as those concepts are absolutely unnecessary
for GATE.
Calculus
For single variable calculus there are not many problems except the maxima and
minima problems and the most important topic is vector calculus involving Gradient,
Divergence and Curl and Vector Integral Theorems (Green's, Gauss's and Stokes

Theorem) as there are lot many properties of each concept and you must remember
all those to solve the problems faster like divergence of curl is always zero, believe me
that these properties do come-in handy in the exam.

There are not many concepts in the dierential equations as you can always check
the solution by satisfying each option in the dierential equation given in the problem
statement but at the same time do remembersome special dierential equations like
Bernoulli's Equation and Euler Dierential Equation.

Probability and Statistics

The general problems involving Probability can be prepped up by practice and there
is no need to study much about them but you can always remember Baye's Theorem,
more focus should be on Random Variables like Poisson's Distribution and other
distributions. Statistics is also very important and you must remember mean,median
and mode concepts as well as coecient of co-relation, so do make short notes for
each of these concepts
Numerical Methods
Two things are important in this section one is the equation solving by methods like
Newton-Raphson and Bisection Method and other is the Numerical Integration
technique by methods like Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's rule so do mug up the
formulas for each of these methods and make good use of Calculator like you can
form equations in form of answer of previous step so that recursion becomes faster
and more accurate.
So basically the key to tackle such a large subject is to narrow down the course
content to the most relevant topics and cut-out the unnecessary topics otherwise
