IAS 2007

Civil services( pre.) exam is not too far away now.for the student, who has taken mathematics as his optional paper, it is busy time.there are few tips ,to effectively utilize this time.
1..make notes for surface area, volume, asymptotes , length of curve , centre of gravity ,equation of evelope of the important and well known curve.
2..statics and dynamics are two topics, which student takes lightly.they are small in portion.Simple harmonic motion,rectilinear motion, projectile, central forces, moment of interia, pedal equation are important for examination.
3.calculas questions manily based on important curves.so prepare each and every aspect of the curves.
4..do not try questions in booklet sequence, first of all try easy one.it will encourage you and there are lesser chances of errors.
5…practice more on visulisation of curves and their properties.
6..78-82 is good score in math is a good score for math( pre.).
7.stress more on accuracy of the question rather than number of questions.
8..vector analysis is another topic, which is easy to handle and contribute 3-4 questions.
9..in recent years a lot of questions are coming from real analysis, abstract algebra and linear algebra. These section produce 15 -18 questions.questions are concept based, so try to understand deep meaning of theorems and results.
10..a lot of topics covered in math (pre.) paper.so distribute it in sections for profer planning.
