About the BookAbout the AuthorTable of Contents

This book is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of maths, physics, physical chemistry, engineering, etc. throughout India. There is rigorous coverage of the theory and a number of application-oriented problems drawn from various disciplines such as science, medicine, economics and agriculture. It also contains a large number of worked examples besides exercises and answers. One chapter is devoted to numerical techniques to solve differential equations in which computer programs and printouts of worked examples are included.
