Students often find it hard to prepare for the Gate exam as they do not
how much Engineering mathematics is relevant to the Gate exam.
Even though Engineering Mathematics is a wide subject covered in
college in 4 to 5 semesters, to prepare it all at one time can be mindboggling! So, the right way to prepare for such subjects is to make short
notes that will come in handy during the last minute revision.
Lets learn about the important concepts from Engineering Mathematics
that you should focus on more.
Linear Algebra

While preparing for Linear Algebra, your focus should essentially be on

Eigenvalue problems apart from Matrix Algebra because you will almost
always find questions from either of the two topics. Also, you must keep

in mind the properties of Eigenvalues like the relation of between

Eigenvalues of two matrices that are the inverse of each other and such
similar properties. Dont spend too much time and effort on topics like
the span of basis vectors to form an n-dimensional space as these
concepts are unnecessary for GATE.
Calculus
In Calculus, there are not many problems except for the maxima and
minima problems and the most important topics in vector calculus are
Gradient, Divergence and Curl and Integral Theorems. You will find a lot
many properties of each concept and you need to remember all these to
solve the problems faster and correctly.
Differential Equations
You wont find many concepts falling under differential equations as you
can often check the solution by satisfying each option in the differential
equation placed in the problem statement but simultaneously you should
do other differential equations as well.

Probability and Statistics

Shares

General problems involving probability can be prepared by spending a

handsome amount of time in practice. Although there is nothing much to
study about them but you could remember Bayes Theorem, try focusing
in Random Variables (Poissons Distributions and other distributions).

Dont forget statistics, they too are important and you need to study
mean, median, and mode concepts as well. Coefficient of correlation is
also important so make short notes for these concepts as well.
Numerical Methods
There are two extremely important topics in this section, one being the
equation solving methods like Newton-Raphson and Bisection method
and the other method is the Numerical Integration technique. Learn the
formulas for each of these methods and make recursion faster and more
accurate.
The only way to tackle such a wide subject is to break down the course
content to the most relevant topics and avoid unnecessary topics as this
wont increase your performance.

important information. Please comment below with your queries and we
