Karnataka II PUC Mathematics (KSEAB) study plan

Karnataka II PUC Mathematics (KSEAB) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Matrices and Determinants & Integrals and Application of Integrals

  • State and apply matrix operations (addition, scalar multiplication, multiplication, transpose) and verify properties such as (AB)^T = B^T A^T on small matrices

  • Compute 2x2 and 3x3 determinants by cofactor expansion and use row/column reduction to simplify before expanding

  • Solve systems of linear equations in two and three variables using Cramer's rule and the inverse-matrix method, and classify solutions as unique, infinite or none

  • Recall standard antiderivatives (power, exponential, trigonometric, 1/x, 1/(1+x^2), 1/sqrt(1-x^2)) and integrate by substitution

  • Set up and evaluate definite integrals using the fundamental theorem of calculus and the substitution rule

Your checkpoint

A 20-problem written set (10 matrices/determinants, 10 integrals) solved end-to-end with steps shown, self-marked with a short error log listing each mistake type.

Week 2

Integrals and Application of Integrals & Matrices and Determinants

  • Integrate using integration by parts, including choosing u by the ILATE preference order and repeating the method for products like x^2 e^x

  • Evaluate integrals of rational functions using partial fractions for distinct linear, repeated linear and irreducible quadratic factors

  • Apply special reduction formulas and evaluate definite integrals with symmetry properties (even/odd functions, 0 to 2a substitutions)

  • Find the area under simple curves and between two curves by setting up definite integrals with correct limits and sketch the region

  • Re-derive determinant properties (row swap sign change, identical rows give zero, scalar multiplication) and use them to evaluate determinants without full expansion

Your checkpoint

One-page formula sheet of integration techniques plus 8 area-of-region problems solved with a labelled sketch for each region.

Week 3

Vector Algebra and Three Dimensional Geometry & Relations and Functions

  • Perform vector addition, scalar multiplication, dot product and cross product, and compute magnitudes, unit vectors and projections

  • Use the scalar triple product to test coplanarity and compute the volume of a parallelepiped

  • Write equations of lines in vector and Cartesian form (point-direction, two-point) and of planes in normal and intercept form

  • Compute shortest distance from a point to a plane and between skew lines using the cross-product formula

  • Verify whether a given relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, and decide equivalence class membership on small finite sets

Your checkpoint

A solved problem set of 12 vector/3D items (including one coplanarity proof and one skew-line distance) plus a truth table classifying 6 given relations by their properties.

Week 4

Vector Algebra and Three Dimensional Geometry & Relations and Functions & Relations, Functions and Algebra (foundational overlap)

  • Find angles between lines and planes and between two planes using direction vectors and normals, and test perpendicularity and parallelism

  • Determine whether a function is one-one, onto or bijective, and compute the inverse of a bijection on a small domain

  • Compose two functions and verify or disprove f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) with a counterexample

  • Classify binary operations by closure, commutativity and associativity, and identify identity and inverse elements

  • Solve simple problems on the number of relations and functions between two finite sets using 2^(mn) and n^m

Your checkpoint

A timed 60-minute mock section of 15 questions covering vectors, 3D geometry, relations and functions, scored and reviewed with every wrong answer reworked.

Week 5

Continuity and Differentiability & Application of Derivatives

  • Test continuity of piecewise functions at a point using left-hand limit, right-hand limit and function value, and classify discontinuities

  • Differentiate using chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, implicit differentiation and logarithmic differentiation

  • Differentiate inverse trigonometric functions and parametric functions, and compute second derivatives

  • Verify Rolle's theorem and the mean value theorem for a stated function on a stated interval and find the guaranteed c

  • Find rates of change, increasing/decreasing intervals and local maxima/minima using the first and second derivative tests

Your checkpoint

A worked solution set of 10 calculus problems (3 continuity, 4 differentiation, 3 maxima/minima or rate problems) each with justification lines, not just final answers.

Week 6

Differential Equations & Inverse Trigonometric Functions

  • Classify and solve first-order differential equations by separation of variables and by homogeneous substitution y = vx

  • Solve linear differential equations of form dy/dx + Py = Q using the integrating factor e^(integral P dx)

  • Form a differential equation from a family of curves by eliminating arbitrary constants

  • Evaluate principal values of inverse trigonometric functions and simplify expressions using standard identities and substitution

  • Solve equations involving inverse trigonometric functions by converting to algebraic relations and rejecting extraneous roots

Your checkpoint

Week 7

Probability & Linear Programming

  • Apply conditional probability, multiplication theorem and Bayes' theorem to multi-stage problems stated in words

  • Use the binomial distribution to compute probabilities of exactly, at least and at most r successes, and find its mean and variance

  • Distinguish independent events from mutually exclusive events and test independence numerically

  • Formulate a linear programming problem from a word problem by defining decision variables, objective function and non-negativity constraints

  • Solve two-variable LPPs graphically by finding the feasible region and testing corner points, and identify infeasible or unbounded cases

Your checkpoint

Two graphical LPP solutions on graph paper with shaded feasible regions and corner-point tables, plus a 10-question probability set scored against a marking scheme.

Week 8

Relations and Functions & Inverse Trigonometric Functions & Matrices and Determinants & Continuity and Differentiability & Application of Derivatives & Integrals and Application of Integrals & Differential Equations & Vector Algebra and Three Dimensional Geometry & Linear Programming & Probability & Relations, Functions and Algebra (foundational overlap)

  • Work through three full-length timed papers under exam conditions, allocating time per section as in the actual paper

  • Re-solve every previously logged error and confirm the fix without looking at the original solution

  • Drill high-frequency short-answer items (formula recall, one-step evaluations) to build speed on the low-mark questions

Three completed timed papers with scores recorded, an error log reduced to zero unresolved items, and a one-page final formula sheet.
