Rationale

 

A technical diploma holder is engaged generally as first line supervisor. He forms a bridge between workers and management. He has to understand the language of the modern management and communicate with the workers in their language. This subject will help accomplishment of the task in stipulated time, develop attitude towards cost effectiveness, selection of most effective alternative methods. This course will also help the student to tackle different numerical methods and computational techniques for problem solving in research organization as a programmer.

Objectives

The course enables student to:

  • develop managerial skills based on mathematical footing.

  • develop the ability to find approximate solutions and/or answers to the problems where analytical methods become more complex.

  • choose correct numerical techniques for a given problem.
