ICSE Class 11 Math Syllabus for 2014-15

ICSE Math for class 11 has a syllabus that includes all necessary topics to clear major entrance exams and conquer the ICSE board exams as well. The syllabus includes topics such as Sets, Relations & Functions, Trigonometric Functions, Principle of Mathematical Induction, Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations. The content of these topics are the basics to various other topics that students study in higher classes, and hence, have been explained in good detail in the class 11 Math Syllabus.

Aims:

1. To enable candidates to acquire knowledge and to develop an understanding of the terms, concepts, symbols, definitions, principles, processes and formulae of Mathematics at the Senior Secondary stage.

2. To develop the ability to apply the knowledge and understanding of Mathematics to unfamiliar situations or to new problems.

3. To develop skills of -

(a) computation.

(b) reading tables, charts, graphs, etc.

4. To develop an appreciation of the role of Mathematics in day-to-day life.

5. To develop an interest in Mathematics.

6. To develop a scientific attitude through the study of Mathematics.

There will be one paper of three hours duration of 100 marks. The syllabus is divided into three sections A, B and C. Section A is compulsory for all candidates. Candidates will have a choice of attempting questions from either Section B or Section C. Section A (80 marks) will consist of 9 questions.
