Module 1: Exploring the subject matter of Economics

What is Economics? Definitions – Importance of Economics for Engineers – Schools of thought The Economic Problem – Scarcity and Choice – Resource allocation – the question of What to produce, How to Produce and How to Distribute Output – its nature and Importance in developing countries – Economic Systems – Basics of Capitalism, Socialism, Mixed Economy, Market Economy and Third World Economies. Is Economics a Science? Distinction between Micro and Macro Economics.

Sketching functions, Gaussian integrals, Stirling's formula, Generalised functions: Step function, Dirac delta function, properties of delta function,

Vectors and Tensors: Cartesian tensors, covariant and contravariant components of a vector, covariant and contravariant tensor, mixed tensor, metric tensor, contraction, rotations and index notation, Isotropic tensors: Kronecker delta, Levi-Civita symbol, Gram determinant. Rotations in three dimensions, Proper and improper rotations, scalars and pseudoscalars; polar and axial vectors.

• In Phase-I, students are supposed to show a progress report at the semester end.
• Multiple intermediate review meetings can be called by the supervisor and the course- coordinator.
• A report in the prescribed format on the literature survey, theoretical analysis, design guidelines, simulation, and experimental results, etc., is to be submitted to the committee.
• Final evaluation is done based on the supervisor’s mark, work done, presentation, and interaction.

• Midterm evaluation is based on interim report and presentation before a committee
• A final report in the prescribed format on the literature survey, theoretical analysis, design guidelines, simulation and experimental results etc. to be submitted to the committee during end semester evaluation
• Final evaluation is done based on the technical presentation before an expert committee, report submitted and supervisor’s assessment
