Mathematics optional for UPSC Mains

12357136

Comments

  • Hello Guys!
    I'm also taking mathematics as an optional .
    Right now I'm only following textbooks. But I've seen " xerox material of venkanna " in many posts .
    Is it really good (helpful)? I don't want to burden myself with too much reading material.
    Also If you have previous year question papers (last 5 or 10yrs) please give me a download link.
    Thanks in advance.
    My personal and straight suggestion is don't even tough those materials. Mathematics can't be learned from coaching materials (Classes may be helpful to some extent, I am not against to that). Read standard book, see the solved problems and then try to solve unsolved one.

    You can download previous years paper from here http://www.examrace.com/

    I have following material almost new as I opted for maths but now I will do with sociology:
    Krishna series: Modern Algebra, Analytical geometry 3D, Matrices, Complex Analysis, Dynamics, Statics, Vector Calculus
    A text book of calculus by SC Arora and Ramesh Singh
    Ordinary and Partial Differential equations by M D Raisinghania
    Full xerox material of K Venkanna.
    Anyone interested?

  • @abhish0001 How do we know there is no step marking in UPSC?

    Sorry if I sound like a noob as I am one. Just contemplating to take up Maths.
  • @Humbug
    Based on feedback from seniors and some IIT/DCE prof who were involved in the exam process...
    Also it is safer to assume that there are no step marks than the other way around...
  • @Caartey,
    any strategy for revision?
  • Sorry boss...
    I can't even think about it right now...
    Maybe after results are out...

    Sorry i neither interested nor support espionage in any form...
    and contacting anyone in UPSC about results even if we know them would constitute misconduct on our part...
    :D
