Dear Aspirant,
Thank you for your interest in the NVS PGT Mathematics coaching at Bansal Academy. Below, I’ve outlined the major topics in Calculus that you should focus on while preparing for the exam.
1. Limits and Continuity
- Understanding the concept of limits
- Techniques for calculating limits (including L’Hôpital’s Rule)
- Continuity of functions and types of discontinuities
2. Differentiation
- Definition and interpretation of the derivative
- Rules of differentiation (product rule, quotient rule, chain rule)
- Higher-order derivatives
- Applications of derivatives in problems involving rates of change, tangents, and normals
3. Applications of Derivatives
- Increasing and decreasing functions
- Maxima and minima (First and Second Derivative Tests)
- Concavity and points of inflection
- Optimization problems
4. Integration
- Indefinite integrals and techniques of integration (substitution, integration by parts)
- Definite integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
- Applications of integrals in finding areas under curves and volumes of solids of revolution
5. Applications of Integration
- Area between curves
- Solving problems involving average value of a function
- Applications in physics and engineering (e.g., work, center of mass)
6. Differential Equations
- Basic concepts of differential equations
- First-order differential equations (separable, linear)
- Applications of differential equations in real-world scenarios
7. Sequences and Series
- Convergence and divergence of sequences
- Infinite series and tests for convergence (ratio test, root test)
- Power series and Taylor series
8. Multivariable Calculus (if applicable)
- Partial derivatives
- Multiple integrals
- Applications in optimization problems involving several variables
Conclusion
Focusing on these topics will not only enhance your understanding of Calculus but also equip you with the necessary skills for the NVS PGT Mathematics examination.
