Class 11–12 Maths: Calculus & Algebra Foundation (CBSE, JEE)
Functions, complex numbers, series, matrices, limits, derivatives, integrals and differential equations, step by step
Ghosla Academy · School Academics Team
This course covers the algebra and calculus backbone of NCERT Class 11 and Class 12 Mathematics: sets and functions, complex numbers and quadratics, sequences and the binomial theorem, permutations and combinations, matrices and determinants, limits and continuity, differentiation and its applications, integration, area under curves and differential equations. Every concept comes with fully worked examples that have been checked, plus the common errors that cost marks. The explanations follow the board-exam style of writing steps, with a few extra techniques that are useful for JEE Main. Two hands-on projects use free tools such as Google Sheets, GeoGebra or Python to check your own answers. CBSE and NTA decide syllabus and exam patterns and these can change, so always check cbseacademic.nic.in and jeemain.nta.nic.in. No course can promise a rank; regular practice is what improves scores.
What you will be able to do
- Work with sets, relations, functions, complex numbers and quadratic equations confidently
- Use AP, GP and the binomial theorem to find terms, sums and coefficients
- Count arrangements and selections and solve linear systems with matrices and determinants
- Evaluate limits, check continuity and differentiate using chain, implicit and logarithmic rules
- Apply derivatives to rates of change, monotonicity and maxima–minima problems
- Integrate by substitution, parts and partial fractions and solve first-order differential equations
What you build
- Matrix and linear-system checker in Google Sheets or Python
- Calculus in real life: optimise a box and find areas with GeoGebra
What you need to start
- Current NCERT Mathematics textbooks for Class 11 and Class 12 (rationalised edition)
