COMPUTER APPLICATIONS

Course Objectives: (i) The scope of Computer Application has been realized for the last few years but has expanded enormously in the recent years. It can be offered as a course to undergraduates due to easy availability of infrastructure and hardware for undergraduate institutions.. The role of Mathematical Visualization and Computer Graphics in Art, Films and Music also points towards such a requirement. The courses is designed with this in mind. Due to the special nature of the course, students offering Discipline courses in Computer Science will not be permitted to offer this application course. Also the medium of instruction for the course will be English. The usual lecture, Tutorial and Assignments will be supplemented with supervised reading and problem sessions, online lessons, websites, mathematical films and computer software aided learning. Laboratory Work / Practicals and Projects highlighting applications to various Social sciences as per the interest of the individual student and advice of the teacher will be a significant part of each of the course as per details specified in the course. Central Science Library receives periodicals containing regular information on such materials and standard books and software by many reputed publishers like Springer Verlag, Wiley Interscience, Prentice Hall and American Mathematical Society (for instance, http://www.ams.org). Guidelines for the conduct of the courses will be prepared and circulated to the colleges and Examination Branch well in time and updated regularly. Combined Three-week Refresher Course(s) for all the course for teachers will be conducted during the next two academic years. Emphasis will be on the effective Methods of teaching /Laboratory Work / Practicals and Projects highlighting applications to various Social Sciences. Preparation of, Information on and regular update of the Supplementary Reading / online materials and projects will be undertaken during the next two academic years.
