Rukmangadachari E. Mathematical Methods

Dorling Kindersley, 2010. — 437 p. — ISBN 9789332503359.I am pleased to present this book on Mathematical Methodsto the fi rst year B.Tech. students of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological Universities (JNTU) at Hyderabad, Anantapur and Kakinada. Written in a simple, lucid and easy-to-understand manner, the book conforms to the syllabus prescribed for JNTU, effective from September 2009.
The concepts have been discussed with focus on clarity and coherence, supported by illustrations for better comprehension. Over 370 well-chosen examples are worked out in the book to enable students under-stand the fundamentals and the principles governing each topic.
Adequate exercises given at the end of each chapter, with answers and hints furnished as needed, provide students an insight into the methods of solving the problems with ingenuity. Model questions from past University Examinations have been included in examples and exercises. A vast, answer appended Question Bank comprising Multiple Choice Questions, Fill in the Blanks, Match the Following and True or False Statements serves to help the student in effortless recapitulation of the subject. In addition to helping students to enhance their knowledge of the subject, these pedagogical elements also help them to prepare for their mid-term examinations.
Suggestions for the improvement of the book are welcome and will be gratefully acknowledged.
