Course Summary 

        This course comprises four main modules: Lattice, Boolean Algebra, 
System of Equations, and Eigenvalue and Eigenvectors. Module I 
introduce concepts like ordered sets and lattices, while Module II explores 
Boolean Algebra and its applications. Module III covers linear systems of 
equations, including Gauss elimination and determinants. Finally, Module 
IV delves into Eigenvalue and Eigenvectors, offering insights into matrix 
properties and applications. 

Course Outcome 

CO1: Analyse Lattices and Boolean 
Algebra .
 
CO2: Apply Matrix Operations and 
Linear Systems .
 
CO3: Investigate Eigenvalue and 
Eigenvector Problems.
