Page 18: Semester-VII (2018 Batch)

introducing the course skills and tools from many disciplines. This course focuses on how the skills and tools are applied towards larger software development goals in the context of dominant algorithmic patterns or motifs found in scientific computing. The aim of the course is to provide knowledge on how advanced numerical methods and complex algorithms in Scientific Computing can be implemented using C++ to engineer larger systems through software development principles of refactoring, composition, correctness and performance analysis, and debugging. The course initiates students into CS305: Software engineering, a rigorous study of software development principles. Also, the course provides a base for subsequent parallelization optimizations, which is the subject of CS410: Parallel Computing that focuses on parallelizing scientific code (often) using different parallel programming paradigms.

This course has certain overlaps with the course “Introduction to Mathematical Finance I” offered by the Mathematics department which aims to introduce different concepts of mathematical finance/ financial engineering with a focus on underlying mathematics.

However, this new proposed course of HSS department looks forward to cover Financial Assets and Valuation, Risk Management, Macro Economics, and Investment Rationale. Only the first two topics are the possible areas of overlap with the Maths course, for which it would be more about a broad outlook and practical aspects from industry.

xii Justification/ Need for introducing the course

The course is targeted at undergraduate students to gain specific interest in finance. The course is designed with the following specific objectives and learning outcomes:

a. To build the understanding of fundamental concepts of

finance, financial markets instruments and market

participants

b. To link theories of valuation to practical aspects of investing

and risk management

At the end of the course, students should be able to familiarise

with structure of financial markets and securities traded therein

and appreciate how global economy impact markets and

investment behaviour.

This is to be seen as preliminary course for introduction to finance, with detailed technical understanding requiring specific courses in later semesters.

xii Justification/ Need for introducing the course

Linguistics, which is concerned with the nature of language and communication, is a growing field and its importance as a discipline has been increasingly felt on other areas, with foci ranging from formal linguistic theory to several applications oriented to understanding the role of language in society, pedagogy, human development, psychological functioning as well as computer science, and artificial intelligence. An introductory course in Linguistics will provide students with a reasonable understanding of the major subfields and also equip them with some tools, techniques, and skills for linguistic analysis. This course will help students to not only understand the complex organization and systematic nature of language but also explore its several applications and acquaint them with the basic concepts necessary to pursue linguistic studies further, if they wish.

xii Justification/ Need for introducing the course

Astrophysics and Cosmology have a few fundamental unsolved problems. This course is an attempt to convey to the students that there are upcoming powerful astronomical facilities capable of solving some of them. But both at hardware and software level, it is Technology that drives what observations are feasible. India is one of the main contributors for development of some of the technologies.

xii Justification/ Need for introducing the course

Solar and Renewable energy is attracting attention not only in the research, industry and policy domain, but also in academic institutions. One of the most important scientific and technical challenges facing humanity in the 21st century is energy security. There is no doubt about the fact that for the widespread substitution of fossil fuel and to meet future energy needs, photovoltaic/solar cells have to play a key role in that.

This course will cover basic understanding of the solar cells, types, fabrication, characterization, etc., from the physics point of view and enable a student to have great basis in the field of photovoltaics.
