Mumbai University | Chemical Engineering Branch | Second Year Semister-III Subject Applied Mathematics-III | Syllabus | Guidance | Marks Distribution.

Applied Mathematics - III

a) Nick Name by Student's :- M3 .

b) Short information of Subject :-

i) Theory Examination :- 100 Marks.

1) Question paper will comprise of 7 questions, each carrying 20 marks.

2) Total 5 questions need to be solved.

3) Question No.1 will be compulsory and based on entire syllabus.

4) Remaining Questions will be randomly selected from all the Chapters and will be mixed in nature.

ii) Term Work :- 25 Marks.

The distribution of marks for the Term Work will be as follows :-

Attendance (Theory and Tutorial) : 05 marks.

Class Tutorials on entire syllabus : 10 marks.

Test (atleast 1) : 10 marks

iii) Total :- 125 Marks.

Maths-III is basically an easy subject as compared to Maths I and II. Infact it can be scoring if you study it regularly . Not only Maths-III but to excell in any Maths whether 1,2,3 or 4 Practise is the only key to success. The more you practise, more you can score. But taking it lightly can make you pay heavy for it.

As a whole it is an easy subject. Stay in touch with the subject which will help you reduce your burden at the end. A slight hardwork will help you out.

c) Best Book to refer :- G.V. Kumbhojkar.

d) Short view of Syllabus :-

It comprises of in all 6 chapters. They are:-

1) Laplace Transform

2) Inverse Laplace Transform

3) Laplace Transform and Matrices

4) Matrices

5) Complex Variable

6) Bessels Equation

Average weightage of chapters :- The marks distribution among the Chapters is very clear and equal. However, in every question paper a slight variation can be seen as in MUMBAI UNIVERSITY the Paper pattern changes every now and then .

1) Chapter 1: Laplace Transform and Chapter 2 : Inverse Laplace Transform both in combination have an average weightage of 35 marks. These are formula based chapters. You have to just apply the formula and get the answer,But these chapters needs more practise.

2) Chapter 3 : Laplace Transform and Matrices and Chapter 4 : Matrices both in combination have an average weightage of 35 marks . We are studying Matrices since from our 10th standard, every time we study Matrices it becomes more and more Advanced. Similarly here the basic is same, only few new concepts are introduced. It is an easy chapter and can help you score well.

3) Chapter 5 : Complex Variable have an average weightage of 35 marks. As the name suggests it is a slightly complicated chapter. But once you get the concepts it is very easy. Don't keep this chapter as an option because all sums in this topic are similar and everyone can atleast solve half sum .

4) Chapter 6 : Bessels Equation have an average weightage of 35 marks . This is the key Chapter to score in Maths 3. It is a very small topic and has very few types of sums. Be through with the concepts in this chapter and you can definately grab more and more marks from this chapter.

Every chapter will give you some marks. But it's up to you how you fill your pockets with more and more marks .

Best of Luck......!!!!!!

Mumbai University Chemical Engineering Branch Second Year Semister - III Guidance .

Mumbai University Second Year Chemical Engineering Semister - III

Guidelines :-

Dear Friends if you are unaware of Semister-III of Chemical Engineering and have no idea about it,Then this post can help you out.

After your First Year is completed, many of you must be having KT's in one or more subjects or if by chance Passed then you must be having Less Marks between 50-55% or even Less than it ,However some are exceptions who are All Clear with Good Marks. This happens as you all are new to the Semister Pattern of Mumbai University. But now after your 2 Semisters are completed you must be familiar with this Pattern. Don't be depressed or underestimate yourself for getting KT 's in the first year as it happens with almost every Engineering Student.

Apart from this Semister-III is a very scoring SEM and can help you to get your Aggregate levelled. Aggregate is the average of percentages scored by you in all your Eight Semisters. It is necessary to maintain your Aggregate, Because it's a common criteria of every Company that the Fresher Employee whom they are Recruiting should atleast have an Aggregate of 60% . If you try to maintain your Aggregate from Sem-3 itself it will reduce your Last Year's burden and will help you to easily get the job.

There are in all 6 Subjects in Semister-3 and are as follows :-

1) Maths-III

2) Advanced Chemistry-I

3) Computer Application

4) Electrical and Electronics Engineering

5) Process Calculation

6) Presentation and Communication Techniques.

The GRAND total of MARKS of all Subjects in Semister-3 is 800 .

Of these 800 marks, 300 marks are alloted for Practicals and Termwork whereas the remaining 500 marks are for Theory Examination.

Of the total 6 subjects, Three subjects Advanced Chemistry-I , Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Computer Application will have Practical Examination and Two subjects Process Calculation and Electrical and Electronics Engineering will have Oral Examination ( viva ).

Future posts will give you a brief knowledge of Subjects in Semister-III and How to Crack them.

Thank You for visiting the Blog and reading the post.....!!!!!!
