CBSE Syllabus for academic session 2025-26 is now released by CBSE on April 1, 2020 for new academic year. More changes may come in next few weeks in curriculum for this session. As we know that Mathematics is an important subject which helps students in various fields of their choices. It is widely used in higher studies in the field of Economics, Commerce, etc., for concept clearing as well as it has been noticed that the syllabus of Mathematics is designed majorly for science stream students not for commerce or humanities scholars. Keeping this fact in mind CBSE have introduced a new subject as ‘Applied Mathematics’ for senior secondary level which will help the students in university education. It will provide students relevant experience in Mathematics which can be used in the fields other than Physical Sciences.
This course is developed in such a way that students can use their mathematical knowledge in the field of business prospective, economic assessments and different area of social sciences evaluation like graphs, charts or statistical analytics. This is not just like Vedic Maths but it is more fundamental for everyday mathematical experiences.
NCERT Books for Applied Mathematics also reinforces the logical reasoning skills of formulating and validating mathematical arguments and implementing for further evaluation, framing and finding counter examples. It encourages students to engage in mathematical investigations and to build connections within mathematical topics and with other disciplines. Using Applied Mathematics, students can use algebraic methods as a means of representation and as a problem-solving tool or interpret 2 -D geometrical figures using algebra to further deduce properties of geometrical figures in coordinate system.
