This is Applied Mathematics (Code 241) for Class XII by M.L. Aggarwal and Neeraj Raj Jain, published by Avichal Publishing Company (APC Books) as a two-volume set, Edition 2026-27. It is an English medium (Roman script) book — the complete theory, solved examples, exercises and answers are in English, and there is no Hindi content in it. The cover states that it follows the CBSE syllabus and is aligned to NCF 2023 and NEP 2020.
The code on the cover is the thing to check. Applied Mathematics is Code 241 and is a different subject from Mathematics, Code 041. It is intended for students moving toward commerce, economics, management and the social sciences: the calculus is lighter, and in its place sit financial mathematics, index numbers and time based data, and inferential statistics. A student taking Code 241 who buys a standard Class 12 mathematics book will find entire units missing.
The two volumes together cover the prescribed course: numbers, quantification and numerical applications — modulo arithmetic, alligation and mixtures, boats and streams, pipes and cisterns, races, partnership and numerical inequalities; algebra with matrices and determinants; calculus — differentiation, applications, integration and differential equations at this course's level; probability distributions — random variables, binomial and normal distributions; inferential statistics and the t-test; index numbers and time based data — moving averages and time series analysis; financial mathematics — perpetuity, sinking funds, EMI, annuities, depreciation, bonds, and returns on investment; and linear programming. Both volumes are needed for the full syllabus.
The question sets match the current paper: objective type, assertion-reason type and case based or source based questions alongside the conventional exercises. That matters in this subject because the financial mathematics and index number units are largely computational, and the case-based format is how the board tests whether a student can pick the right method from a described situation rather than a stated formula.
The set is used alongside the prescribed NCERT Applied Mathematics textbook.
