I am not adding resources for the subjects already present in GATE CSE as there are already many blogs on gatecse.in and gateoverflow.in. Also, there are some other topics like Data Warehousing but I think some simple Google searches should be enough to learn those topics.
All the very best and happy learning😊

https://aofa.cs.princeton.edu/40asymptotic/

When studying algorithms, this chapter covers methods for obtaining approximate solutions to problems or approaching exact answers, which allow us to generate succinct and precise approximations of quantities of interest.

hope you find this helpful :)

https://aofa.cs.princeton.edu/20recurrence/

chapter focuses on the underlying mathematical aspects of various forms of recurrence relations, which are typically encountered while studying an algorithm by translating a recursive representation of a programme to a recursive representation of a function characterising its attributes.

Here are the notes I have written during my preparation for GATE CS/IT. Future aspirants may find it helpful. These are elaborated notes, that one may go through to recapitulate stuff fast. I took help from standard books and online courses to put together these notes. As of now, only some chapters of Discrete Mathematics are uploaded. I will upload notes for all the subjects within a month.

Can anyone upload a DRDO previous year papers/ link.

I don’t remember completely but someone had pasted the link on a blog here a year ago.

Thanks in advance. Gateoverflow is one the most wonderful site I had ever used in my entire Journey to AIR 89.

  1. 1-9, 16

 

I also read these notes by Manu Thakur as a revision and just to check in case if I’m missing any topic, they are nicely compiled and only a few topics are not covered by these notes.

 

Not everything I mentioned is important for GATE, One should be smart enough to filter out what to read/watch from these references, I haven’t added any extra reference here... I have followed every single reference mentioned, I was enjoying learning specially all these maths lectures, I watched lots of out of the syllabus stuff on these topics. I left it for you to filter the necessary topics at your convenience. One person might need a different approach, go according to what is best for you... don’t restrict yourself just to these... explore more and more.

I solved NPTEL assignments as well, You can get those just by a Google search, If you couldn’t find them let me know, I’ll add links to those as well.

and a special Thanks to GO, most of the resources here were recommended by GO, you can find those here: best-books and best-videos

 

you can find all my GATE related bookmarks here, download this file and open it with any browser, you’ll get some of the additional links I followed plus links to NPTEL courses from where you can download the assignments and official page for many courses I referred, you can check their tests/assignments as well. 

Most of the questions in these NPTEL assignments are of 1 mark level (still worth trying if you have time, you’ll find lots of interesting things), I first solved all pyqs (including TIFR problems) once before touching any extra question.

It’s up to you how you wanna use these assignments.


A nice website collecting most nptel courses and some additional useful links

Hello Everyone !!!

I am sharing a document titled "SECURITY OF CYBER SYSTEMS".

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1apDOaHSVJaorwndrV35Sdz5JcjQcyLthYCdZ_9FR1VA/edit?fbclid=IwAR3l9oUnv47Nn59N9Gy4hcYMBj9YNrUMcRTnIOW1wScXJWBr76xkIdJhdKg

This document is relevant for all aspirants appearing for DRDO Scientist-B 2020 examination as well as for cyber security enthusiasts.

Initially, I have compiled a list of popular attacks. Based on your feedback I will extend it for rest part of DRDO syllabus.

Feel free to report errors !!!

$$\color{Blue} {\textbf{Linear Algebra}}$$

$\textbf{1.Properties of determinants:-}$

The determinant is only valid for the square matrix.

  1. $\mid A^{T}\mid = \mid A \mid $
  2. $\mid AB \mid = \mid A \mid \mid B \mid $
  3. $\mid A^{n} \mid = \big(\mid A \mid\big)^{n}$
  4. $\mid kA\mid = k^{n} \mid A \mid$, here $A$ is the $n\times n$ matrix.
  5. If two rows (or two columns) of a determinant are interchanged, the sign of the value of the determinant changes.
  6. If in determinant any row or column is completely zero, the value of the determinant is zero.
  7. If two rows (or two columns) of a determinant are identical, the value of the determinant is zero.

$\textbf{2.Matrix Multiplication:-}$ 

It is valid for both square and non-square matrix.

Let $\mathbf{A_{m\times n}}$ and $\mathbf{B_{n\times p}}$ are two matrices then, the resultant matrix is $\mathbf{(AB)_{m\times p}}$, has

  1. Number of elements $=mp$
  2. Number of multiplication $ = (mp)n = mnp$
  3. Number of addition $ = mp(n-1)$ 

_________________________________________________________________

$\color{Red} { \textbf{Key Points:-}}$

  1. $(Adj\: A)A = A(Adj\:A) = \mid A \mid I_{n}$
  2. $Adj(AB) = (Adj\:B)\cdot (Adj\: A)$
  3. $(AB)^{-1} = B^{-1}\cdot A^{-1}$
  4. $(AB)^{T} = B^{T}\cdot A^{T}$
  5. $(A^{T})^{-1} = (A^{-1})^{T}$
  6. $A\cdot A^{-1} = A^{-1} \cdot A = I$
  7. $Adj(Adj\:A) = \mid A\mid ^{n-2}\cdot A$
  8. $\mid Adj\: A \mid = \mid A \mid ^{n-1}$
  9. $\mid Adj(Adj\: A) \mid = \mid A \mid ^{{(n-1)}^{2}}$
  10. $Adj(A^{m}) = (Adj\:A)^{m}$
  11. $Adj(kA) = k^{n-1}(Adj \:A),k\in \mathbb{R}$

 _________________________________________________________________

${\color{Magenta}{\textbf{Some More Points:-}} }$

  1. Minimum number of zeros in a diagonal matrix of order $n$ is $n(n-1).$
  2. $AB = \text{diag}(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3})\times \text{diag}(b_{1},b_{2},b_{3}) = \text{diag}(a_{1}b_{1},a_{2}b_{2},a_{3}b_{3})$
  3. For diagonal and triangular matrix (upper triangular or lower triangular) the determinant is equal to product of leading diagonal elements.
  4. The matrix which is both symmetric and skew-symmetric must be a null matrix.
  5. All the diagonal elements of the Skew Hermitian matrix are either zero or pure imaginary.
  6. All the diagonal elements of the Hermitian matrix are real.
  7. The determinant of Idempotent matrix is either $0$ or $1.$ 
  8. Determinant and Trace of the nilpotent matrix is zero.
  9. The inverse of the nilpotent matrix does not exist.
  10. $\color{green}{\checkmark}$ A square matrix whose all eigenvalues are zero is a nilpotent matrix

    $\color{green}{\checkmark}$ In linear algebra, a nilpotent matrix is a square matrix $A$ such that ${\displaystyle A^{k}=0\,}$ for some positive integer ${\displaystyle k}.$ The smallest such ${\displaystyle k}$ is sometimes called the index of ${\displaystyle A}$

    Example$:$ the matrix $A  = \begin{bmatrix} 0& 0\\1 &0 \end{bmatrix}$ is nilpotent with index $2,$since $A^{2} = 0$


$\color{Blue}{\textbf{Eigenvalues:-}}$ The number is an eigenvalue of $A$ if and only if $A-\lambda I$ is singular: $\text{det}(A-\lambda I) = 0$

This β€œcharacteristic equation” $\text{det}(A-\lambda I) = 0$ involves only $\lambda$, not $x.$ When $A$ is $n \times n,$ the equation has degree $n.$ Then $A$ has $n$ eigenvalues and each leads to $x:$ For each $\lambda$ solve $\text{det}(A-\lambda I)x = 0$ or $Ax = \lambda x$ to find an eigenvector $x.$

${\color{Orange}{\textbf{Properties of Eigen Values (or) Characteristics roots (or) Latent roots:-}} }$

 $\color{green}\checkmark\:$ Eigenvalue and Eigenvector are only valid for square matrix.
