1.5 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 teachinglearning 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 printed material

•

Audio-visual material

•

Counselling sessions/contact programmes

•

Assignments

•

Teleconferencing

6

•

Practicals

•

Projects

•

Interactive radio counseling (IRC); Gyan Vani, Gyan Darshan and Edusat

1.6 Course Preparation
Learning print materials are specially designed and developed 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. Similarly, audio and video
cassettes/CDs are produced in consultation with course writers, in-house faculty and producers. The
materials thus prepared are reviewed by the faculty as well as outside media experts and edited or modified,
wherever necessary, before they are finally despatched to the study centres, Doordarshan and Akashvani.

1.7 Credit System
The University follows the “Credit System” for most of its programmes. 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, listening to audio, watching video, attending counselling sessions,
teleconferencing, Edusat, IRC and writing assignment responses).
A four-credit course, for instance,
involves 120 study hours. The course weightage is expressed in terms of credits. This helps you to
understand the academic effort you need to put in to successfully complete a course.

1.8 Support Services
In order to provide individualised support to you, the University has a large number of study centres
throughout the country. These are coordinated by 36 Regional Centres. At the 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.

1.9 Counselling Sessions
We believe that 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.
The purpose of such a contact is to answer some of your questions, clarify your doubts. It is also intended
to meet your fellow students. There are experienced academic counsellors at the Programme Centres to
provide counselling and guidance to you in the courses that you have chosen for study. The detailed
schedule of the counselling sessions for each of the courses will be available at your Programme Centre.
Although attending counselling sessions is not compulsory, we recommend that you attend them regularly.
These sessions may be very useful in certain respects such as: to share your views on the subject with
teachers and fellow participants, comprehend some of the complex ideas or difficult issues, and get
clarifications for many doubts which you would not otherwise try to raise.
Face-to-face counselling will be provided to you at the programme 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 be delivering 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.
Generally there will be 5 counselling sessions for a 4-credit course and 3 counselling sessions for a 2-credit
course. The Programme Facilitator of your Programme Centre, will inform you about the schedule.

Despatch of Study Material
The printed study material is despatched to you semester-wise. The first and the third semesters material is
despatched in December and material for second and fourth semesters is despatched in June. If you do
not get your study material in time, write to the Regional Centre concerned. A sample prescribed
application form for this purpose is enclosed as Form No.1 in the programme guide.

2.3 Instructional System
The M.Sc. (MACS) programme instructional system includes self-instructional print material, wrap-around
material, audio/video components, teleconferencing, assignments, counselling sessions, Edusat, project and
practical work at the programme 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 material prepared by us 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 at your residence.

How to Study the Units
While going through the syllabi of courses you will note that each course has been divided into a number of
blocks – generally 4 to 5 blocks for 4-credit courses and 2 to 3 blocks for 2-credit courses. Each block has a
number of units (lessons). The units of a block have a certain thematic unity. The course materials will be
provided to you in the form of well-designed printed booklets. Each booklet is called a block and contains a
few units.
The first page of each block indicates the number and title of the units comprising the block. In the first
block of each course we start with course introduction. This is followed by a brief introduction to the block.

12

Each unit begins with an introduction in which we tell you about the contents of the unit. We also outline a
list of objectives which we expect you to achieve after working through the unit. This is followed by the
main body of the unit, which is divided into various sections and sub-sections. We end each unit by
summarising its contents. We summarise what has been said in the whole unit to enable you to recall the
main points.
In each unit, there are several exercises. These are meant to help you to assess your understanding of the
subject contents. Please do them as you come to them, for making the best use of them for learning the
course.

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 when, 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. The exercises to be done by you are also indicated 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 feel 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 at 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.

Programme Centres
To provide effective students support, we have set up a few programme centres for this programme in
different regions of the country. The list of M.Sc. (MACS) programme centres is given on page 51 of the
programme guide. You will be allotted one of these programme centres taking into consideration your place
of residence or work. However, each progrmme centre can handle only a limited number of students. The
particulars regarding the Programme Centre to which you are assigned will be communicated to you at the
time of admission.
Each Programme Centre will have:
•

A Programme facilitator 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 subjects areas, core as well as electives to provide you counselling and
guidance in that subject.

13

•

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 related to the programme.

A Programme Centre has the following functions:
i)

Tutorial/Counselling: Face to face contact-cum-counselling for both the theory and practical
component of Courses will be provided at the Programme Centres. Generally there will be 5
counselling sessions for a 4-credit course and 3 to 4 sessions for a 2-credit course.
The detailed programme of the contact-cum-counselling sessions for both theory and practical will be
informed to you by the Programme facilitators of the Programme Centre. 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 Centre. The evaluated assignments will be returned to you
by the Programme Facilitator 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 Centre you will have an opportunity to interact
with fellow students. This may lead to the formation of self-help groups.

iv)

Teleconferencing and Interactive Radio Counselling: To provide more clarity and understanding,
two-way audio and one-way video facility will be used during teleconferencing at programme centres.
Interactive radio counselling and interactive programmes through Gyan Vani and Gyan Darshan will
also be made available at the Programme Centre. The teleconferencing schedule is also published in
the IGNOU Newsletter.

Audio and Video Programmes
The audio and video programmes on various subjects supplement the print material sent to you. These are
meant for clarification and enhancement of understanding of the topic covered. The CDs of these
programmes are available at your programme centre and are meant to be used during the counselling
sessions at the programme centre. Video programmes are normally of 25-30 minutes duration and are
transmitted by Doordarshan on National Network from Monday to Friday. The schedule of transmission
will be communicated to you through the IGNOU Newsletter. Besides, the video programmes are telecast
on the national network of Gyan Darshan.

Assignments
Assignments are a compulsory component of the course. Assignments are sent to you along with the other
printed material by post. You will need to do one tutor marked assignment for each 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.
The main purpose of the assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning material you receive
from us and also to help you get through 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 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.

14

The assignments are valid for one year. This means that assignments despatched to you for the
semester beginning January is valid up to December of the same year. Similarly, the assignments of
the July semester sent to you in the month of July is valid upto the June of the next year. In any case,
you have to submit assignments before appearing in the examination for any course.
You have to complete the assignments in time. You will not be allowed to appear for the term-end
examination for a course if you do not submit 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 evaluator within a month after submission, please try to get it from your programme centre
personally. This may help you to improve upon future assignments.

each student. The total number of practical sessions per semester ranges between 11 to 36. These sessions
are spread over the entire semester. Minimum 70% attendance in the practical sessions of a course qualifies

2.4 Evaluation
The system of evaluation, both for theory courses and courses with practical component, is as follows:
Theory: For theory courses as well as for theory part of the courses with practical component, evaluation
comprises three aspects:
a) Self-evaluation exercises within each unit of study (non-credit).
b) Continuous evaluation in the form of compulsory tutor marked assignments. This carries a weightage
of 20-30% for each course. The scores of the tutor marked assignment along with the Practical
assignment (for the courses with practical component) will be considered for declaring the students
successful in that course.
c) The term-end examination (TEE) has a weightage of:
•

70% for MMT-002, MMT-003, MMT-004, MMT-005, MMT-006, MMT-009, MMTE-002;

•

50% for MMT-007, MMT-008, MMTE-001, MMTE-003, MMTE-004, MMTE-005;
MMTE-006, MMTE-007; and

•

20% for MMT-001.

Practical: For courses with Practical component, evaluation of the practical component comprises of the
following two aspects:
a) Continuous evaluation of practicals done at the programme centre. This carries a weightage of 10%

b) Terminal evaluation of performance in the practical exam carries a weightage of 20% for all the
courses except for the course MMT-001 where it is 50% and MMT-009 where there is no term-end
practical exam.

Continuous Evaluation
Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation component of a course. The assignment of a course carry
30% weightage. Further, the breakage of this 30% weightage for the courses with practical components is
20% weightage for the theory assignments and 10% the practical assignments. The marks that you get in
your assignments will be counted in your final result. Therefore, you are advised to take your
assignments seriously.

to you by the Facilitator of your Programme Centre.
You must get the flow chart/source code of the program written/any other output, related to each

Real Analysis (MMT-004)

Material will be part of study guide

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
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.

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.

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

55

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-adjointoperator.

Differential Equations & Numerical Solutions (MMT-007)

4 credits

This course discusses both analytical and numerical methods of solving differential equations. This course
assumes the knowledge of the undergraduate IGNOU course “Differential Equations” (MTE-08) and
undergraduate IGNOU course “Numerical Analysis” (MTE-10). The course MMT-005 on complex
analysis is a co-requisite for this course. This course is divided into four blocks. The first two blocks
discuss the analytical methods of solving differential equations, whereas, numerical methods are discussed
in Blocks 3 and 4. Blocks 3 and 4 also involve practical work worth 1 credit to be done using Cprogramming, which you have already learnt in your MMT-001 course “Programming and Data Structure”.
Practical exercises are given at the end of the units in Blocks 3 and 4.
In Block 1, the Picard’s theorem on existence and uniqueness of the solution of initial value problems is
proved. After discussing the power series methods of solving linear, homogeneous differential equations
with variable coefficients, the Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre polynomials and Bessel functions are discussed
in detail. Applications of these polynomials to physical situation like steady-state heat conduction, linear
harmonic oscillator, vibrating membrane problems etc., are also illustrated.
Block 2 deals with the Laplace and Fourier transform methods of solving initial and boundary value
problems and applications of transform methods to diffusion, wave and Laplace equations.
In Block 3, we have discussed numerical methods of finding solutions of ordinary differential equations,
both initial and boundary value problems whereas, finite difference methods and finite element methods for
solving partial differential equations are discussed in Block 4.
All the concepts given in the blocks are followed by a lot of examples as well as exercises. These will help
you get a better grasp of the techniques discussed in this course.

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.
The course is divided into two blocks. The first block introduces you to the concept of mathematical
modelling. After discussing different types of modelling and various steps involved in formulating a model
we have discussed models from finance and probability theory. Block 2 deals with the model from
population dynamics, ecology, air pollution, medicine and optimization. This course also involve some
practical assignments which are to be done using C-programming and constitute the part of your continuous
evaluation. These assignments are given at the end of the units in the blocks.

2 credits

The filed of computer graphics deals with methods and tools for generating images. It has applications in
diverse areas as science, engineering, medicine, business, industry, art, entertainment, advertising, education
and training etc. This two-credit course is developed as a wrap-around material around the book
“Computer Graphics” C-Version (second edition) by Donald Hearn and M. Pauline Baker. The study
guide developed for this course consists of five-units. It gives you an introduction to computer graphics.
The different kinds of graphics display systems are described. It discusses algorithms for generating some
two and three dimensional shapes and transformations for these shapes. This course assumes the knowledge
of undergraduate IGNOU courses on elementary algebra (MTE-04), geometry (MTE-05) and calculus
(MTE-01). The course also involves practical work to be done using C-programming which you would
have learnt in MMT-001.

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.
This course is developed as a wrap-around material around the book “Fundamentals of ErrorCorrecting Codes” by Vera Pless and W. Cary Huffman, Cambridge University Press. The prerequisites
for this course are an undergraduate course in Linear Algebra and an undergraduate course in Algebra,
including an introduction to finite fields, covering at least the material in Chapter 13, Section 6 of Michael
Artin’s book, “Algebra”. This course has practical component worth 1 credit.

Cryptography (MMTE-006)

4 credits

Cryptography is the science of designing secure encryption methods for communication. Earlier,
cryptography was of interest to a handful of people like diplomats and those in espionage and counter
espionage. However, due to the growth of computer networks and specifically the Internet, this subject has
become important from the point of view of data security in the computer networks. This course has three
blocks. The first block provides an introduction to classical ciphers and some basics in mathematics. In the
second block, the “traditional” symmetric ciphers are discussed. In the third block “two key ciphers” or
public key cryptography is discussed. This course has practical component worth 1 credit.
