There are many topics of 10th std Mathematics which are
important to understand concepts of 11th std Maths and Physics like Straight lines, Basic Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, Quadratic
Equations, Arithmetic Progression, Probability, Determinants, etc.
Knowledge of Basic Calculus and Vectors is also required to
understand Physics concepts.
Still it’s just to clear your basics and you must be clear with all your
doubts of class 10th math. Especially with geometry and
Trigonometry. Your 11th math starts with calculus and analytic
geometry. In 10th you have basic geometry and algebraic equations,
trigonometry, etc. These 10th std topics are replaced with different
topics with an analytic approach in mind: circle, parabola,
ellipse,hyperbola, vectors, straight lines, etc.
So, start afresh. You need to have a fresh understanding of all the
math of 12th and JEE.

For IIT JEE preparation, it is important to have a solid foundation in 10th standard mathematics. Here are some of the key topics and chapters from 10th standard mathematics that are relevant for understanding 11th and 12th standard physics and mathematics:

  1. Algebra: Linear equations, quadratic equations, complex numbers, sequence and series
  2. Trigonometry: Trigonometric ratios, inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, height and distances
  3. Coordinate geometry: Straight lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas
  4. Calculus: Limits and derivatives, applications of derivatives, definite and indefinite integrals, applications of integrals
  5. Vectors: Vector addition and subtraction, scalar multiplication, dot product, cross product

These topics provide the foundation for advanced topics in physics and mathematics, including vector calculus, differential equations, complex analysis, linear algebra, and more. It is important to thoroughly understand these concepts and practice applying them to real-world problems. This will help you build the confidence and problem-solving skills you need to succeed in IIT JEE.

For physics:

  1. Laws of Motion: Newton’s laws of motion, friction, work and energy, power
  2. Waves: Types of waves, wave properties, reflection and refraction of waves, superposition of waves
  3. Thermal Physics: Temperature, thermal expansion, heat transfer, heat and temperature
  4. Light: Reflection and refraction of light, total internal reflection, lenses, mirrors
  5. Electricity and Magnetism: Electric charges, electric field, electric potential, Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws
