 Opening Ceremony on Subject Exam
and Introduction to Subject Exam
• Advantages of Exam for an Admission and financial Aid for MS / PhD
• Level of difficulty of the Exam
• Time required for preparation to target exam in Nov each year
• Resources and books recommended for the exam
• Importance For Management and Computer Science Students
• Useful in Research and applicability
• Solving and discussion on GRE9768, GRE9367, GRE8767, GR0568, 5
Test by ACRO (in all 10 tests to be covered for AGRE)
• Many book reviews (Advanced Engineering Mathematics 8th Erwin
Kreyszig, Calculus Tom IN. Apostol Part 1 and 2) & summary of
books on AGRE Maths
• Calculus - 50%
• Material learned in the usual sequence of elementary calculus courses -
differential and integral calculus of one and of several variables - includes calculus-
based applications and connections with coordinate geometry, trigonometry,
differential equations, and other branches of mathematics
• Algebra - 25%
• Elementary algebra: basic algebraic techniques and manipulations acquired in high
school and used throughout mathematics
Linear algebra: matrix algebra, systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear
transformations, characteristic polynomials, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors
Abstract algebra and number theory: elementary topics from group theory; theory
of rings and modules, field theory, and number theory
Additional Topics - 25%
• Introductory real analysis: sequences and series of numbers and functions,
continuity, differentiability and integrability, and elementary topology of R and Rn
Discrete mathematics: logic, set theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and
algorithms
Other topics: general topology, geometry, complex variables, probability and
statistics, and numerical analysis
The above descriptions of topics covered in the test should not be considered
exhaustive; it is necessary to understand many other related concepts. Prospective
test takers should be aware that questions requiring no more than a good
precalculus background may be quite challenging; some of these questions turn
out to be among the most difficult questions on the test. In general, the questions
are intended not only to test recall of information but also to assess test takers'
understanding of fundamental concepts and the ability to apply those concepts in
various situations.

we study here like earths motion around sun
is elliptic, why?
• Degree two equations must be solved
