Chapter - 1 : Linear Algebra
1.1 Determinants
a b
If a, b, c and d are any four terms then the representation is called a determinant
c d
and is denoted by D.
A determinant of order 2 is evaluated as follows:
a b
D= = ad bc
c d
A determinant of order 3 can be evaluated as follows:
a1 a 2 a3
b2 b3 b1 b 3 b1 b 2
D = b1 b 2 b3 = a1 a2 a3
c2 c3 c1 c3 c1 c2
c1 c2 c3
1 2 3
1 3 2 3 2 1
For example: 2 1 3 =1 2 3
1 2 3 2 3 1
3 1 2
Properties of Determinants
Interchange of rows and columns (Ri Ci)
The value of determinant is not affected by changing the rows into the corresponding
columns, and the columns into the corresponding rows. Thus
a1 a 2 a3 a 1 b1 c1
b1 b 2 b3 a2 b2 c2
c1 c2 c3 a3 b3 c3
1
Vidyalankar : GATE – Engineering Mathematics
If two adjacent rows or columns of the determinant are interchanged, the value of the
determinant so obtained is the negative of the value of the original determinant. Thus
a1 a 2 a3 b1 b 2 b3
b1 b 2 b3 a1 a 2 a3
c1 c2 c3 c1 c2 c3
Sum of determinants
If any element in any row (or column) consists of the sum of two terms, the determinant
can be expressed as the sum of two other determinants whose other rows (or columns)
remain the same, while the remaining row (or column) consists of these terms
respectively. Thus,
a1 1 a2 a3 a1 a 2 a3 1 a2 a3
b1 1 b2 b3 b1 b 2 b3 1 b2 b3
c1 1 c2 c3 c1 c2 c3 1 c2 c3
Change of row or column by multiples of other rows and columns Rij(p), Cij(p)
As the consequence of the properties 5, 4 and 2 we have the result.
a1 a 2 a3 a1 pa 2 a2 qa 3 a3
b1 b 2 b3 b1 pb2 b2 qb3 b3
c1 c2 c3 c1 pc2 c2 qc3 c3
where care must be taken to leave at least one row or column unaltered in such changes
P and q being any positive or negative factors.

1.2 Matrices
A Matrix is a rectangular array of elements written as
a11 a12 . . . . a1n
a 21 a 22 . . . . a2n
. . . .
A= . . . .
. . . .
. . . .
am1 am2 . . . . amn
The above matrix A has m rows and n columns. So it is a m × n matrix or it is said that
the size of the matrix is m × n.

A vector whose length is 1 is called a normal vector

2.1 Function of single variable
A real valued function y = f(x) of a real variable x is a mapping whose domain S and
co-domain R are sets of real numbers. The range of the function is the set y f(x) : x R ,
which is a subset of R.
Properties of Limits
Let f and g be two functions defined over S and let a be any point, not necessarily in S

2.3 Continuity
Let f be a real valued function of the real variable x. Let x0 be a point in the domain of f
and let f be defined in some neighbourhood of the point x0. The function f is said to be
continuous at x = x0 if
i) lim f(x) exists and
x x0
Types of discontinuity
A point at which f is not continuous is called a point of discontinuity.
If lim f(x) exists, but lim f(x) f(x 0 )
x x0 x x0
has a removable discontinuity at x = 0, since lim f(x) and a new function can be
x 0
defined as
sin x / x ; x 0
f(x) =
1 ; x 0
If lim f(x) does not exist, then x0 is called the point of irremovable discontinuity.
x x0
For Example :
1
f(x) = at x = 0
x
Here lim f(x) does not exist. Also f(0) is not defined.

Vidyalankar : GATE – Engineering Mathematics
If f is continuous at an interior point c of a closed interval [a, b] and f(c) 0, then there
exists a neighbourhood of c, throughout which f(x) has the same sign as f(c).
If f is continuous in a closed interval [a, b] then it is bounded there and attains its
bounds at least once in [a, b].
If f is continuous in a closed interval [a, b], and if f(a) f(b) are of opposite signs, then
there exists at least one point c [a, b] such that f(c) = 0.
If f is continuous in a closed interval [a, b] and f(a) f(b) then it assumes every value
between f(a) and f(b).

2.4 Differentiability
Let a real valued function f(x) be defined on an I and let x0 be a point in I. Then, if
f x f x0 f x0 x f x0
lim or lim
x x0 x x0 x 0 x
exists and is equal to , then f(x) is said to be differentiable at x0 and is called the
derivative of f(x) at x = x0.
If f(x) is differentiable at every point in the interval (a, b) then f(x) is said to be
differentiable in (a, b).
Properties of differentiation
Let the functions f and g be differentiable at a point x0. Then
i) (cf ) x0 = cf (x0), c any constant.
ii) (f g) x0 = f (x0) g (x0)

3.1 Basic Terms
Random Experiment
Consider an action which is repeated under essentially identical conditions. If it results in
any one of the several possible outcomes, but it is not possible to predict which outcome
will appear. Such an action is called as a Random Experiment. One performance of such
an experiment is called as a Trial.
Sample Space
The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is called as the sample space.
All the elements of the sample space together are called as ‘exhaustive cases’. The
number of elements of the sample space i.e. the number of exhaustive cases is denoted
by n(S) or N or n.
Event
Any subset of the sample space is called as an ‘Event’ and is denoted by some capital
letter like A, B, C or A1, A2, A3,.. or B1, B2, ... etc.
Favourable cases
The cases which ensure the happening of an event A, are called as the cases favourable
to the event A. The number of cases favourable to event A is denoted by n(A) or NA or nA.
Permutation
A permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects. The number of
permutations of n distinct objects taken r at a time is
n n!
Pr =
n r !
166
Notes on Probability and Statistics
Combination
A combination is selection of all or part of a set of objects. The number of combinations of
n distinct objects taken r at a time is
n n!
Cr =
r! n r !
A = {1, 4} A = {2, 3, 5, 6}

Bayes’ Theorem
Suppose that a sample space S is a union of mutually disjoint events B1, B2, B3, ..., Bn,
suppose A is an event in S, and suppose A and all the Bi’s have nonzero probabilities. If
k is an integer with 1 k n, then
