    No, math is not an optional subject in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Examination (CSE). Math is not a part of the UPSC syllabus, but the quantitative aptitude and reasoning, which are an important part of the General Studies paper (Paper II) and the optional paper (Paper VI and VII) in the CSE. These papers are designed to test the candidate’s analytical and quantitative abilities, and a basic understanding of mathematical concepts is necessary to do well in these papers.

    It’s worth noting that the mathematics questions in UPSC are not as advanced as one would expect in a mathematics undergraduate course. The questions are primarily based on concepts that are taught in high school, such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.

    So while math is not an optional subject, it is not a primary subject like the other general studies papers but it is important to have a basic understanding of mathematical concepts to answer the questions in the General Studies paper and the optional papers.
