GATE Mathematics (MA) — which book for which section
GATE Mathematics (MA), conducted by the IITs, is the national entrance test for M.Tech / MS admissions, PSU recruitment and doctoral fellowships. The paper is General Aptitude (common to every GATE paper) plus the Mathematics subject, organised into eleven sections.
This guide takes the official GATE MA syllabus section by section and maps each section to the Shree Sai Prakashan M.Sc titles that cover it — so you can see exactly which book to open for which section, instead of guessing from a book list. Where a section is not yet covered by our range, we say so plainly.
Our M.Sc range covers 8 of the 11 subject sections — Real & Complex Analysis, Algebra, Functional Analysis, ODE, PDE, Topology and Linear Programming (via Operations Research). Calculus, Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis need a separate title.
How the paper is structured
GATE Mathematics has two components. The eleven sections below make up the subject paper.
The syllabus, section by section — mapped to our books
Each section below links to a full page with the complete topic list and the books that cover it.
Calculus
Multivariable and vector calculus — a UG-level foundation not covered by a standalone title in our M.Sc range.
Linear Algebra
Finite-dimensional vector spaces, canonical forms and quadratic forms — not yet a standalone title in our range.
Real Analysis
One of the largest sections — and directly covered.
Complex Analysis
Analytic functions through to residues and conformal maps — directly covered.
Ordinary Differential Equations
First- and higher-order ODEs, Laplace & series solutions, Sturm–Liouville and stability — directly covered.
Algebra
Group, ring and field theory — directly covered.
Functional Analysis
Banach & Hilbert space theory and the classical theorems — directly covered.
Numerical Analysis
Direct & iterative solvers, interpolation and numerical integration — not yet a standalone title in our range.
Partial Differential Equations
First- and second-order PDEs, separation of variables and transform methods — directly covered.
Topology
Point-set topology through to Urysohn and Tietze — directly covered.
Linear Programming
LP, transportation and assignment — directly covered by Operations Research.
Also in our M.Sc mathematics series
These titles fall outside the GATE MA sections but are standard M.Sc papers, useful for CSIR-NET, UGC-NET, the IAS mathematics optional and state PCS.
