ECE Mathematics and GEAS Review
ECE Mathematics and GEAS Review
Mathematics and General Engineering and Applied Sciences (GEAS) are two separate ECE subjects, each worth 20%:
- Mathematics: Day 1, 8 AM–12 NN
- GEAS: Day 2, 8 AM–12 NN
Each needs its own 70% (RA 9292, Sec. 16), so you can't lean on one to cover the other.
Suggested practice split
PRC doesn't publish item counts per topic. This is our suggested share of your practice time, not an official breakdown:
| Topic block | Share of practice |
|---|---|
| Math: algebra, trigonometry | 10% |
| Math: analytic geometry, calculus, differential equations | 20% |
| Math: probability and statistics | 5% |
| GEAS: mechanics | 10% |
| GEAS: waves, electricity and magnetism | 12% |
| GEAS: chemistry | 8% |
| GEAS: engineering economics | 15% |
| GEAS: engineering management | 10% |
| GEAS: materials science | 5% |
| GEAS: computer fundamentals | 5% |
Mathematics
- College algebra (word problems, polynomials, sequences)
- Trigonometry (identities, equations, applications)
- Analytic geometry (conics, lines, planes)
- Differential and integral calculus
- Differential equations (separable, linear, second-order)
- Probability and statistics
GEAS
- Mechanics: kinematics, Newton's laws, work and energy, momentum
- Waves and sound; electricity and magnetism basics
- Chemistry: atomic structure, bonding, gas laws, acids and bases
- Engineering economics: time value of money, annuities, depreciation, break-even
- Engineering management: project management, quality control, basic operations research
A 6-week plan
| Week | Focus | Practice volume |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Math: algebra + trigonometry | 80 problems |
| 2 | Math: calculus + differential equations | 80 problems |
| 3 | GEAS: mechanics + waves | 80 problems |
| 4 | GEAS: electricity and magnetism + chemistry | 80 problems |
| 5 | GEAS: engineering economics + management | 80 problems |
| 6 | Timed practice set for each subject + remediation | 2 sets + 60 problems |
