COURSE MODULE COURSE NAME: BRIDGE COURSE IN MATHEMATICS CLASS : BCA-I COURSE CODE : BC-102 COURSE INSTRUCTOR: Mr. SWAPAN CHANANA, Ms. Harleen Mahajan Ms Prabhjot COURSE OBJECTIVES: ‘Bridge Course in Mathematics’ is a course which is especially incorporated with a view to create a bridge between the elementary mathematics that you have studied till 10th standard, and all that you will require for computer courses that you will study in BCA. ‘Statistics’ is a very important branch of mathematics which is closely connected with the industry. Mean, Median, Mode & other measures of Central Tendency are basic to the processing of any kind of data, to convert it into useful information which is of strategic importance to any company or business house. This course will teach you the fundamentals that are essential for other courses like Digital Circuit & Logic Design (Logic Gates, Functions & Relations), Computer Oriented Mathematics & Computer System Architecture (Binary Number System, Boolean Algebra). So, ‘Bridge Course in Mathematics’ is your first step to becoming Computer Professionals. PRESENTATION: There will be one presentation for the subject. The students will be divided into different groups. Each group will work upon a topic and present it. The schedule of the same will be intimated to you. DISTRIBUTION OF MARKS: Bridge Course in Mathematics carries 100 marks. Out of these, the students will be tested externally for 60 marks, and internally for 40 marks. The external exam will carry 60 marks, which will be in December. The internal exam (MST - Mid Semester Test) will be in October. The division of 40 marks for the internal assessment is as follows :
