## Objectives

1. Review and build upon the fundamentals of higher mathematics to develop research skills.
2. Train research scholars for problem-solving in advanced mathematics (Develop problem-solving and thinking skills in advanced mathematics).
3. Support in preparation for NET/SLET examinations.

## Topics

2. Algebra
3. Topology

## Syllabus Outline

### Analysis

1. Continuity, types of discontinuity, oscillation, Cauchy continuity, uniform continuity.
2. Functions of several variables, directional derivative, partial derivative, derivative as a linear transformation, inverse and implicit function theorems.
