SYLLABUS FOR MATHEMAT ICAL AND STAT ISTICAL TECHNIQUES AT
F.Y.B.Com. EXAMINATION
Revised Course
(WITH EFFECT FROM THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2016-2017)
Why Revision?  
There  is  a  Rapid  expansion   of  knowledge   in  subject  matter  areas  and  improved  instructional   method 
during  last  decade.  There  are  considerable  curricular   revisions  happening   at  the  high  school  level. 
Application  of Mathematics  and Statistics are widely used in industry and business. Keeping this in mind, 
a revision of syllabus required  in accordance  with the growth of subject of at the high school level and  
emerging  needs of industry and its application.   
Objective:  
The main  objective of this course is to introduce  mathematics  and statistics to undergraduate  students 
of  commerce,  so  that  they  can  use  them  in  the  field  of  commerce   and  industry  to  solve  the  real  life 
problems.  
Distribution of topi cs and lectures
a.Workload :
Theory: 5 lectures per week of which 2 lectures are for Mathematics and 3 lectures for
Statistics.
