1. ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

1.1 Introduction
Indira Gandhi National Open University came into being on September 20, 1985, by an Act of Parliament to
achieve the following objectives:
• democratising higher education by taking education to your doorsteps;
• providing access to high quality education to all those who seek it irrespective of age, region or formal
qualifications;
• offering need-based academic programmes by giving professional and vocational orientation to the
courses;
• Promoting and developing distance education in India.

1.2 Special Features

• International jurisdiction.
• Nation wide student support service network.
• Cost effective programmes.
• Modular approach to programmes.
• Socially and academically relevant programmes based on students need analysis.
• Relaxed entry regulations.
• Study according to your own pace and convenience.

1.3 The Schools of Studies

With a view to develop interdisciplinary studies, the University operates through Schools of Studies. Each
School is headed by a Director who plans, supervises, develops and organizes its academic programmes and
courses in coordination with the School staff and the different academic, administrative and service wings of
the University. The emphasis is on providing a wide choice of courses at different levels. The Schools of
Studies currently in operation are as follows:
• School of Computer & Information Sciences
• School of Continuing Education
• School of Education
• School of Engineering & Technology
• School of Health Sciences
• School of Humanities
• School of Management Studies
• School of Sciences
• School of Social Sciences
• School of Agriculture
• School of Law
• School of Journalism and New Media Studies
• School of Gender and Development Studies

• School of Tourism Hospitality Service Sectoral Management
• School of Interdisciplinary and Trans-disciplinary Studies
• School of Social Work
• School of Vocational Education and Training
• School of Extension and Development Studies
• School of Foreign Languages
• School of Translation Studies and Training
• School of Performing and Visual Arts

1.4 Instructional Approach

The methodology of instruction in this university is different from that of the conventional universities. The
Open University System is more learner-oriented, and the learner is an active participant in the teaching-
learning process. Most of the instruction is imparted through distance mode rather than face-to-face
communication.

The University follows a multi-media approach for instruction. It consists of:

• Self-instructional material in the form of printed material and wrap-around material

• Audio-visual material
• Counselling sessions/contact programmes

1.5 Course Preparation

Print materials are specially designed and developed as self-learning materials by in-house faculty along
with a team of experts drawn from different institutions and universities all over the country. These
materials are edited by content experts and language experts before they are finally printed and dispatched to
the study centres.

1.6 Credit System

The University follows the “Credit System” for most of its programmes. The course weightage is expressed
in terms of credits. Each credit in our system is equivalent to 30 hours of student study time, comprising all
learning activities (i.e. reading and understanding the print material doing the self check exercises therein,
attending counselling sessions and writing assignment responses). A four-credit course, for instance,
involves 120 study hours. This helps you to understand the academic effort you need to put in to
successfully complete a course.

1.7 Support Services

In order to provide individualised support to you, the University has a large number of Programme Study
Centre throughout the country. At the Programme Study Centres, you would interact with the Academic
Counsellors and your peer groups, refer to books in the library, watch/listen to video/audio cassettes and
interact with the coordinator on administrative and academic matters. The support services are also
provided through work centres, programme centres, skill development centres and special study centres.
1.8 Counselling Sessions
According to the course design, most of your learning is to be done by you studying on your own.
However, you may need help at various times. For this we provide face-to-face contact between you and
your tutors/counsellors. Although attending theory counselling sessions is not compulsory, we recommend
that you attend them regularly. By attending these counselling sessions, you can meet your academic

6
counsellors and your fellow students. This will help you to discuss the course material and clarify any
doubts you may have in the course from your academic counsellor or fellow students. You will also get a
realistic idea of the level of accomplishment that is expected of you by talking to your fellow students. The
detailed schedule of the counselling sessions for each of the courses will be available at your Programme
Study Centre.

Face-to-face counselling will be provided to you at the programme study centre assigned to you. You
should note that the counselling sessions will be very different from the usual classroom teaching or
lectures. Counsellors will not give lectures on the course contents. They will try to help you to overcome
difficulties (academic as well as personal) which you face while studying for the programme. In these
sessions you must concentrate on the subject-based difficulties and any other issue arising out of such
difficulties.

Project
Project work is compulsory for every learner. It aims to provide you with an opportunity to undertake
hands-on work in some Industry/Organizations/R&D establishment/Institution. The Project Guide that is
sent to you along with the fourth semester material will give you all the details related to the project work.

2.2 Instructional System

The M.Sc. (MACS) programme instructional system includes self-instructional print material, wrap-around
material, assignments, counselling sessions, project and practical work at the programme study centres.

Print Material
For some of the courses of the programme, you will be receiving printed study material in the form of
booklets called blocks. The print material is properly planned and is self-instructional in nature. Lessons,
which are called units, are structured to facilitate self-study. The printed material is sent to you by
registered post to your residence.

Wrap-around Material
The wrap-around material, or study guide, for some of the courses of the programme has been developed
around a textbook prescribed for the course. The design and format of the study guide is like any other
printed block of IGNOU. This guide is an aid in studying and understanding the prescribed chapters of the
book. It clearly indicates what and how much to study from the book.

A study guide consists of number of units. Each unit is further divided into sections and sub-sections. In
each section of the unit we have clearly indicated in a box in bold letters the particular chapter/section of the
textbook to be studied at that time. We have also indicated the exercises you have to do in a box. Typically
a box would be of the form:

Read Sec.11, Chapter-2 of the book from pages 33-35.

Do the exercises 4, 5, 7, 8 on pages 42, 43 of the book.

Remember that instructions in the second box above does not restrict you from trying other exercises given
in the textbook.

Wherever we felt that more explanation is needed for understanding the text given in the book, we have
given them in the unit just below the respective box clearly indicating the theorem number/equation
number/page number, to which we are referring to. In addition to this we have given a number of solved
examples/exercises in the units in order to enhance your understanding of various concepts.

The study guide along with the textbook is sent to you by registered post to your residence along with the
other printed material. While studying wrap-around courses, you must keep both the book and the guide in
front of you.

Assignments
Assignments are a compulsory component of the course. Assignments are sent to you along with the other
printed material by post. They can also be downloaded from the IGNOU website. You will need to do one
tutor marked assignment for each theory course. Courses with practical components have practical
assignments also. For such courses assignments may contain a mix of both theory and practical exercises
or, the two assignments may be separate or, practical assignment may be attached to the blocks in the print
material.

10
If you fail in an assignment or couldn’t submit the assignment before the due date, you have to submit
the assignment for the next year.

The main purpose of the assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning material you receive
from us and also to identify the gaps in your understanding of the course by providing feedback to you.
These assignments will be checked by your counsellors, who will also explain to you where and how you
can improve your understanding. The information given in the printed course material should be sufficient
for answering the assignments. However, to take you a little further, you can always refer to other books
accessible to you.

These assignments are to be submitted at the programme study centre according to the submission schedule
provided in the assignments booklets. Before submission, you should ensure that you have answered all the
questions in all assignments. Incomplete answer sheets bring you poor grades.

The period of validity is given in the instructions for students in the second page of the assignment.
You will not be allowed to appear for the term-end examination for a course if you have not
submitted the assignments in time for that course. If you appear in term-end examination without
submitting the assignments, then the result of term-end examination is liable to be cancelled.

For your own record, please keep a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the
programme facilitator of your centre. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked
assignments along with a copy of the assessment sheet containing comments on your assignments by
the counsellor within a month after submission, please try to get it from your programme study centre
personally. This may help you to improve upon future assignments.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUTOR MARKED ASSIGNMENTS

1. Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and Date on the top right hand corner
of the first page of your response sheet.
2. Write the Programme Title, Course Code, Course Title, Assignment Code and Name of your

Project Work
The aim of the Project work, worth 4 credits, is to provide the learners with an opportunity to undertake
hands-on work in some industry/organisation/R&D establishments/institution. To help you, a detailed
project guide is sent to you along with other print material in which different steps involved in doing a
project are given, along with detailed examples. The Programme Facilitator at your centre will also help
you in tying up with some industry/organization/institute, etc. in your region for doing the project work.

Practical Work
Nine out of seventeen courses of study of the programme have a computer practical component. Computer
practicals will be held at the Programme Centres. Attending practical sessions is compulsory for each
student. The total number of practical sessions per semester ranges between 11 to 36. These sessions are
spread over the entire semester. Completing 70% of the sessions is compulsory in the practical sessions of a
course. It qualifies you to appear for the term-end practical exam of the course. Schedule for practical
sessions will be provided to you by the Programme Facilitator of your centre. In some of the courses,
practical assignments are given separately whereas, for some they are printed at the end of the units in the
block. Please do your assignments independently and do not forget to read the instructions regarding the
practical work given in the practical manual or the printed blocks of the course material.

Programme Study Centres

To provide effective students support, we have set up seven programme study centres for this programme in
seven locations, namely Noida, Cochin, Ranchi, Jabalpur, Kolkata, Chennai and Pune. . The list of M.Sc.
(MACS) programme centres, along with their addresses, is given on page 63 of the programme guide. You
will be allotted one of these programme study centres. However, each progrmme study centre can handle
only a limited number of students. The particulars regarding the programme study centre to which you are
assigned will be communicated to you at the time of admission.

Each Programme Study Centre will have:

• A Programme facilitator/Assistant Coordinator who will coordinate all the activities, academic as
well as administrative, related to the programme and will be a guide/support to you at the centre.
• Counsellors in different courses, core as well as electives, to provide you counselling and guidance in
that subject.
• Project supervisors to guide you in selecting and executing your project work and supervise the
progress from time to time.
• A computer laboratory where you can do your computer practicals.
• A library where you can refer to the books suggested for supplementary reading in different subject
areas as well as view audio-video materials, if any, related to the programme.

12
A Programme Study Centre has the following functions:

i) Tutorial/Counselling: Programme study centres conduct face to face contact-cum-counselling for

both the theory and practical component of courses. Generally there will be 5 theory counselling
sessions for a 4-credit course and 3 to 4 sessions for a 2-credit course.
Programme Facilitator/Assistant Coordinator will provide you the schedule of the contact-cum-
counselling sessions for both theory and practical. In these sessions you will get an opportunity to
discuss with the Counsellors your problems pertaining to the courses of your study.
ii) Evaluation of Assignments: The evaluation of your Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs) will be done
by the Counsellors at the Programme Study Centre. The evaluated assignments will be returned to
you by the Programme Facilitator/Assistant Coordinator of your Programme Centre with tutor
comments and marks obtained in TMA. These comments will help you in your further studies while
preparing for your examinations.
iii) Interaction with fellow-students: In the Programme Study Centre you will have an opportunity to
interact with fellow students. This may lead to the formation of self-help groups.

2.3 Scheme of Study

In order to enable you to complete your M.Sc (MACS) programme within the minimum period of two years,
you will have to take 16 credits worth of courses in each of the four semesters. Registration to the
programme is semester-wise. After the first/second/third semester, irrespective of whether you pass or not
in all the courses of the semester, you must re-register for the second/third/fourth semester courses
respectively, by submitting the Course Re-registration Form with the requisite programme fee. The course
re-registration form for second/fourth, and third semesters, respectively, are given as Forms No. 9, 10 and
11, respectively.

It is quite possible that you cannot find sufficient time to prepare for the Term End Examinations of all the
16 credits worth of courses you have registered for in a particular semester. You can focus only on those
courses in which you intend to take the examination. You can give the examination of the remaining
courses later. Examinations are held in the month of June/December of each year. In this way, you can plan
your courses for more than two but not more than four years. By a proper planning every year, you can
complete this programme according to your convenience. The semester-wise details of the courses of

you are advised to:
1. remain in touch with your Programme Study Centre/Regional Centre/SED for change in schedule of
submission of examination form if any;
2. fill up the examination form for next term-end examination without waiting for the result of the
previous term-end examination and also filling up the courses, for which result is awaited;
3. fill up all the particulars carefully and properly in the examination form to avoid rejection/delay in
processing of the form;
4. retain a copy of the form and the proof of mailing/submission of examination form till you receive
examination hall ticket;

• Issue of Examination Hall Ticket

University issues Examination Hall Ticket to you at least two weeks before the commencement of Term-end
Examination and it could also be downloaded from the University’s website www.ignou.ac.in. In case you
fail to receive the Examination Hall Ticket within one week before the commencement of the examination,
you can download the hall ticket from the website and approach the exam centre for appearing in the exam.
Please note that you have to carry the Identity Card issued by the University with you when you
appear for the Term End Examination. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to appear in the
examination, even if you have the hall ticket.

Your enrolment number is your Roll Number for examinations. Be careful in writing it. Any mistake in
writing the Roll Number will result in non-declaration of your result. It is your duty to check whether you
are registered for that course and whether you are eligible to appear for that examination or not. If you
neglect this and take the examination without being eligible for it, your result will be cancelled.

If you have missed any term-end examination of a course for any reason, or failed in the examination, you
may appear in the subsequent term-end examination. This facility will be available until you secure the
minimum pass grade but only up to a period of four years from the date of registration of the first semester.
There is no provision to reappear in an examination of any course for improvement.

While communicating with the University regarding examinations, please clearly write your enrolment
number and complete address. In the absence of such details, it is not possible to attend to your problems.

Practical Evaluation
Evaluation of the practicals for courses with a practical component comprises of two aspects. Evaluation of
practical exercises which you do throughout the semester under the guidance of your counsellors at the
programme study centre, constitutes continuous evaluation and carries 10% weightage. On the other hand,
the evaluation of unguided practical exercise assigned to you, which you perform towards the end of the
semester, at your programme study centre constitutes term-end evaluation and carries 20% weightage for

Credit Transfer
“Credit transfer” means allowing a student of another university to get admitted to IGNOU for completing
any equivalent degree/diploma programme on the basis of credits obtained by him/her from that University.
A student thus admitted need not write IGNOU examinations for such courses which are found equivalent to
and for which appropriate credits would be deemed to have been acquired for, and for purposes of fulfilling
the IGNOU requirements for award of a degree/diploma.

Eligibility
The credit transfer scheme is applicable only to those candidates who have not completed their degree from
any other recognized university but want to complete it through IGNOU.

Modalities
• The credit transfer scheme for M.Sc. (MACS) is applicable only from post-graduate courses.
• Credit transfer will be permissible in the case of students coming from institutions established by an Act
of Parliament or by an Act of State Legislature, or a “Deemed to be University”, or an “Institution of
National Importance”, or institutions recognized by statutory bodies like AICTE, ICMR, ICAR, CSIR,
etc.
• Credit transfer can be done only on the basis of individual courses and not on the basis of year to year
courses as in conventional institutions.
• Credit transfer for a maximum of 50% credits (i.e., upto 32 credits) of this programme is permissible. In
order to complete M.Sc. (MACS) programme from IGNOU, a student will be required to earn at least
50%, i.e., 32 credits from this programme. However, those students who fail to complete the
programme in the prescribed period can apply for fresh admission. If they are admitted, they will be
given credit transfer for all the courses which have not been revised in the intervening period.
• The degree certificate or the mark sheet given to the students will specifically indicate the credits earned
in IGNOU and those obtained from any other institution.
• The basis of credit transfer will be
a) Course coverage of at least 75%.
ii) A minimum of 40% marks clearly obtained for this coverage.
• IGNOU “Programme” and “Courses” means “courses” and “subjects” or “papers”, respectively of
conventional universities.
• Students seeking credit transfer should apply directly to The Registrar (SRD), IGNOU, Maidan
Garhi, New Delhi-110 068, in the prescribed form enclosing the following items:
i) A Demand Draft of Rs.200/- per course drawn in favour of IGNOU and Payable at New Delhi.
ii) Attested copies of Mark Sheet(s); and
iii) Attested copies of syllabi of courses covered by them.
• Applications for credit transfer will be examined by the Mathematics Discipline Group at the
Headquarters of the University. This process will usually take a period of two months from the date
of receipt of such requests with all the relevant documents. A sample prescribed application form
for this purpose is enclosed as Form No.7 in the programme guide.

5. DETAILS OF CORE COURSES

1. Programming & Data Structures (MMT-001) 4 credits

This course is an introduction to the C programming language and basic data structures. The course provides
the foundation in programming necessary for the other courses in the programme. The aim of this course is
not to produce C programmers, but mathematicians who can write programs in C for research purposes. In
this course, the emphasis is heavily on the practicals. The course does not assume any previous knowledge
in programming. This course has 3 blocks and a laboratory manual. The first two blocks give an
introduction to C programming. The third block is an introduction to data structures using the C language.
The laboratory manual gives guidance on the practical component of the course. Practical component of
this course is worth 2-credits.

Syllabus

2. Linear Algebra (MMT-002) 2 credits

This short course has been designed, keeping in mind the requirements of the applications that you would be
coming across later in this programme. It aims to give you some background in the Jordan form, similarity,
orthonormal bases, the Spectral Theorem for normal operators and some decompositions of matrices, all of
them with a variety of applications.

While creating this course we have assumed that you have studied at least one semester course in Linear
Algebra at the undergraduate level. In particular, we assume that you would have studied the content of the
IGNOU course, MTE-02, ‘Linear Algebra’. For your information, a copy of this material will be available
at your programme centre.

Syllabus

Block 1: Jordan Canonical Form

50
 Unit 1 Similarity
Unit 2 Jordan Form
Unit 3 Applications of the Jordan Form

Block 2: Applications of Unitary Matrices

Unit 4 Unitary Similarity
Unit 5 Positive Definiteness
Unit 6 Matrix Decompositions

3. Algebra (MMT-003) 4 credits

This course has an unusual design. This is because it is built around the knowledge of algebra required for
appreciating the applications you will be studying later. What is also unusual about this course is that it is a
wrap-around course (see P-11 of this Guide). This means that the main book you will be studying is
‘Algebra’ by M. Artin. However, we will be sending you material to help you navigate through the chosen
portions of the book. Our material will also have examples and exercises to help you to improve your
understanding of the concepts involved.

As in the other courses, we assume that you have the knowledge of the content of the IGNOU course MTE-
06, ‘Abstract Algebra’. For your information, a copy of this material will be available at your programme
centre.

Syllabus

Block 1: Groups
Unit 1 Group Operations
Unit 2 Sylow Theorems and the Symmetric Group
Unit 3 Special Groups
Unit 4 Free Groups

Unit 6 Congruences and Applications

Block 2: Finite Group Representations and Field Theory

Unit 7 Representations of Groups
Unit 8 Characters
Unit 9 Fields
Unit 10 Galois Theory
Unit 11 Applications of Finite Fields

4. Real Analysis (MMT-004) 4 credits

This course on Real Analysis assumes the knowledge of undergraduate Real Analysis and Calculus courses
presented in IGNOU undergraduate mathematical electives MTE-07 and MTE-09 respectively. The topics
are chosen with a special emphasis on applications. In this course we have discussed basics of metric space
theory, multivariable calculus and measure and integration theory. We have also discussed topics like
Fourier Series and Integrals, Wavelets, Signals and Systems. The material is presented in three blocks.

This course consists of three blocks divided into various units. In Block 1, we introduce you to the concept
of metric spaces. Then, we define the related concepts of continuity, convergence, compactness and
connectedness for metric spaces and discuss some characterization properties of these concepts.

In Block 2, we study differentiability for functions defined from Euclidean space R n to Euclidean space
R m . We discuss the ways for extending the concept of derivative as well as the related concepts of partial
derivatives and directional derivatives from R 2 to higher dimensional spaces R n . We also discuss chain
rule, higher derivatives, Taylor’s theorem, Implicit and Inverse function theorems.
In Block 3, we introduce you to the concepts of Lebesgue measure and Lebesgue integration. We discuss
Fourier Series and Fourier integral of certain functions which are very fundamental to the development of
51
modern analysis. With the progress in computer technology and effective interplay between computers,
mathematics and science, very interesting developments have occurred in recent times in Image Analysis
and Signal processing. In this block, we familiarise you with some of these aspects.

5. Complex Analysis (MMT-005) 2 credits

The study of complex variable theory is of great importance in applications. In the study of Laplace
transform, the inverse Laplace transform is obtained easily as a contour integral in a complex plane. The
evaluation of a wide class of definite integrals (even along the real axis) is facilitated by the use of the
complex integral calculus. Another important application is the use of conformal mapping to solve
boundary value problems in two-dimensional potential theory.

This course on complex analysis is developed as a wrap-around material around the textbook “Complex
Variables and Applications” by J. W. Brown and R. V. Churchill (Seventh edition). The study guide
developed for this course to help you study and understand the prescribed chapters of the textbook consists
of six units. We have started the discussion in Unit 1 by introducing the notion of a complex valued
functions of a (single) complex variable and defined the concept of limit, continuity and differentiability of
the function. Analytic and harmonic functions and their applications in fluid flow, steady heat conduction
and electrostatics are discussed here. Complex integrals or contour integrals are discussed in Units 2 and 3.
Singularities and series representation of a complex valued function in terms of Taylor and Laurent series
are discussed in Unit 4. Unit 5 introduces you to the concept of residue of a complex valued function.
Evaluation of definite, trigonometric and improper integrals in terms of the sums of the residues are also
discussed here. Finally, Unit 6 deals with elementary transformations viz., linear, inverse and bilinear
transformations and conformal mapping. Application of conformal mapping to steady-state temperature
problem is also discussed here.

Whenever you study this study guide please keep the textbook along with you. We advise you to go section
by section and follow the instructions given there.

6. Functional Analysis (MMT-006) 4 credits
This course is a 4-credit course. In this course we introduce you to a branch of mathematics known as
Functional Analysis. In functional analysis we study function spaces which are sets of functions with
additional structures. This provides a major link between mathematics and its applications. The important
notions that are dealt in this course are Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces and linear functionals on these spaces.
This course assumes the knowledge of linear algebra and basic metric space theory presented in IGNOU
undergraduates course on “Linear Algebra” MTE-02 and Block 1 of MMT-004. The course is developed as
wrap-around material around the book. “Functional Analysis” by B. V. Limaye (New Age International
(P) Ltd., 2nd Edition). In order to help you to study the text book, a study guide is developed which consists
of five units. Each unit in these blocks is a guided tour through the relevant parts of the text book. The
material also consists of worked out examples, exercises, some application and some explanations on certain
portions in the Text Book that we felt that you may find difficult to grasp.

The wrap-around material is divided into 5 units. In Unit 1, we discuss some basic concepts in Functional
analysis. We introduce to the concept of a “norm” which is another distance measuring concept like a
metric. Any linear space having a norm defined on it is called a normed space. Any norm function defines
a metric on a normed space and thereby any normed space is a metric space. In this unit, we consider maps
which are linear and bounded (also called continuous). We define continuous linear maps from one normed
space to another. We also familiarize you to one of the important theorems in Functional Analysis, known
as Hahn Banach theorem. Unit 2 deals with Banach Spaces. Normed spaces which are complete with
respect to the metric induced by the corresponding norm are called Banach spaces. The Banach spaces
plays a cruicial role in the study of function spaces. Here we consider four important theorems – Open
mapping theorem, Closed graph theorem, Uniform boundedness principle and Bounded inverse theorem.
Unit 3, deals with space of bounded linear maps defined from a normed space to the space K, the scalar
field of real or complex numbers. These spaces are called dual spaces. We also consider dual of dual
spaces which are called reflexive spaces.

Unit 4 and 5 introduce you to another type of normed spaces known as inner product spaces. An inner
product space which is complete, under the norm induced by the inner product, is called a Hilbert space. In
Unit 4, we discuss the fundamental properties of inner product spaces more specifically for Hilbert spaces.
The inner product enables us to introduce the concept of orthogonality. Unit 4 is devoted to orthonormal
sets. Another important theorem for Hilbert spaces namely, Riesz representation theorem is studied in this
unit. Finally in Unit 5 we consider operators on Hilbert spaces. Here we define adjoint of an operator and
study three important clauses of operators, namely, self-adjoint, unitary and normal operators. We also
discuss two important subclauses of self-adjoint operators, viz, positive operators and compact self-adjoint-
operator.

9. Mathematical Modelling (MMT-009) 2 credits

The use of mathematics in solving real-world problems has become widespread especially due to the
increasing computational power of digital computers and computing methods both of which have facilitated
the handling of lengthy and complicated problems. This process of translating the real world problems into
mathematical problems (mathematical model), solving the mathematical problems and interpreting these
solutions in the language of the real world is called “modelling process”. Mathematical modelling is used in
almost all the disciplines in Science, Engineering and Technology. Topics in physics like gravitation,
mechanics, heat transfer, transfer of energies etc., problems in astro and bio-physics, problems in chemical
sciences like kinetics of reaction, industrial chemistry etc. are all studied through modelling. In life sciences
and medicine, the subject of mathematical modelling is not very old, but the same is growing rapidly with
the advent of computer applications. There are number of topics like ecology, air and water pollution,
physiology including cardio-vascular circulation, epidemiology and pharmaco-kinetics which are now
studied through mathematical modelling and computer simulation. In this course we have considered some
real world problems from population dynamics, environmental systems, finance and economics. This
course assumes the knowledge of the undergraduate IGNOU course “Differential Equations” (MTE-08).
Also, the knowledge of “Mathematical Modelling” (MTE-14) course will help you in better understanding
of some of the models considered in this course.

5. Coding Theory (MMTE-005) 4 credits

This subject has its origins in a classic paper by Claude Shannon in 1948. In this paper he wrote, “The
fundamental problem of communication is that of reproducing at one point either exactly or approximately
a message selected at another point.” In telecommunication, and many other areas like computer
networking, data has to be transferred from one point to another (for example, from a satellite to an earth
station) in the form of bits, i.e., binary digits. Due to various disturbances, the message could get modified
in transit; some of the 0s may become 1s and vice-versa. So, the message received at the destination may be
different from the message sent. Coding theory provides tools and techniques for correcting the errors that
appear during transmission. In this course, we provide an introduction to this subject.

The text book for this course is “Fundamentals of Error-Correcting Codes” by Vera Pless and W. Cary
Huffman, Cambridge University Press. The Chapter number and section numbers given below refer to this
book. The prerequisites for this course are an undergraduate course in Linear Algebra and an undergraduate
