Preface



Mathematics is a necessary avenue to scientific knowledge which opens new vistas of mental activity.

A sound knowledge of Engineering Mathematics is a ‘sine qua non’ for the modern engineer to attain new heights in all aspects of engineering practice.

This book is a self-contained, comprehensive volume covering the entire gamut of the course of Engineering Mathematics for 4 years’ B.Tech program of I.I.Ts, N.I.Ts, and all other universities in India.

The contents of this book are divided into 8 parts as follows:

Web Supplement Besides the above, the following additional chapters are available at http://www.mhhe.com/ramanahem.

1. Matrices and Determinants

2. Sequence and Series

3. Analytical Solid Geometry

4. Calculus of Variations

5. Linear Programming

The site also contains chapter-wise summary of all the chapters in the book.

This book is written in a lucid, easy to understand language. Each topic has been thoroughly covered in scope, content and also from the examination point of view. For each topic, several worked out examples, carefully selected to cover all aspects of the topic, are presented. This is followed by practice exercise with answers to all the problems and hints to the difficult ones. There are more than 1500 worked examples and 3500 exercise problems.

This textbook is the outcome of my more than 30 years of teaching experience of engineering mathematics at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (1970-74), National Institute of Technology, Warangal (1975-81), J.N. Technological University, Hyderabad (since 1981), Federal University of Technology, Nigeria (1983-85), Eritrea Institute of Technology, Eritrea (since 2005).

I am hopeful that this ‘new’ exhaustive book will be useful to both students as well as teachers. If you have any queries, please feel free to write to me at: ramanabv48@rediffmail.com.

In spite of our best efforts, some errors might have crept in to the book. Report of any such error and all suggestions for improving the future editions of the book are welcome and will be gratefully acknowledged.
