Pro Tip · Full Marks Strategy

Focus on Units I – III for the MTT (20 marks) and cover all six units for the ETT (50 marks). The heaviest scoring areas in the ETT are usually Unit I (matrices), Unit II (differential calculus), and Unit VI (Fourier series) — make sure you can solve a full-length problem from each without hesitation.

How to Use These Notes

A quick suggested workflow for studying the course efficiently.

1

Read in order

Units I → VI build on each other. Matrix methods from Unit I are used throughout the later units.

2

Work every example

Don't just read the solutions — redo them on paper. Mathematics is learned by doing, not by reading.

3

Memorise the formula sheet

Before the exam, revise only the standard results, formula boxes and summary tables at the end of each unit.

4

Solve practice questions

Each unit ends with graded practice questions and full solutions. Attempt before reading the solutions.

5

Print or export PDF

Every unit has print rules built in — use Ctrl + P and choose "Save as PDF" for a clean A4 layout.

6

Track your progress

Click "Mark done" on each card as you finish a unit. Progress is saved in your browser's local storage.
