Bryophytes -General characters
Bryophyta (from Greek Bryon = mass; phyton = plant) is a division of the kingdom Plantae that includes Liverworts, Hornworts, and mosses. They are green plants occupying an evolutionary position between the thallophytes (Algae) and the vascular cryptogams (Pteridophytes). Bryophytes are considered the most simple and primitive group of Embryophyta. They are referred to as the first land plants or non-vascular land plants (Atracheata) because they lack seeds and vascular tissues.
Bryophytes are represented by 960 genera and 24,000 species and are cosmopolitan in distribution, found across temperate and tropical regions. They typically grow densely in moist and shady places, forming thick carpets or mats, especially during the rainy season. While the majority are terrestrial, some species are aquatic, such as Riccia fluitans.

The objective of this course is to provide students with a
good knowledge about the Islamic Golden Age of Learning
in Spain, also known as the Andalusian Renaissance,
flourished from the 8th to the 15th century. This
progression is planned to give learners about the significant
advancements in various fields including science, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, and literature under the rule of Muslim Caliphates in the Iberian Peninsula. Through this study the students get information about the Scholars like Ibn Rushd (Averroes), Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and Ibn Khaldun made ground-breaking contributions that influenced European Renaissance and Enlightenment thinkers. This period was characterized by religious
tolerance, cultural exchange, and intellectual curiosity, making it a pivotal time in the history of human civilization.

This course introduces the fundamentals of Linear Programming (LP) . It covers the history, definitions, and structure of LP, including model formulation with real-world examples. Students learn the advantages and limitations of LP and solve problems using graphical methods and the simplex algorithm for both maximization and minimization cases. The course also explores special cases in LP and the standard form of an LPP. Advanced solution techniques such as the Two-phase method and Big-M method are included to handle complex constraints.
Key topics:
- Introduction to Operations Research & Linear Programming.
- LP model formulation and graphical solution.
- Simplex method (maximization & minimization).
- Special cases & standard form of LPP.
- Two-phase and Big-M methods for constrained optimization.
