Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear transformations), are not easily understood, and require time to assimilate. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students' understanding of these concepts is vital to their mastery of the subject. David Lay introduces these concepts early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, develops them gradually, and returns to them again and again throughout the text so that when discussed in the abstract, these concepts are more accessible.

MECHANICS OF FLUIDS presents fluid mechanics in a manner that helps students gain both an understanding of, and an ability to analyze the important phenomena encountered by practicing engineers. The authors succeed in this through the use of several pedagogical tools that help students visualize the many difficult-to-understand phenomena of fluid mechanics. Explanations are based on basic physical concepts as well as mathematics which are accessible to undergraduate engineering students. This fourth edition includes a Multimedia Fluid Mechanics DVD-ROM which harnesses the interactivity of multimedia to improve the teaching and learning of fluid mechanics by illustrating fundamental phenomena and conveying fascinating fluid flows.
Divided into nine sections, this work deals with definition, scope, and use of sociology, social institutions, marriage in India, the education system, juvenile delinquency, population problems and beggary, collective behaviour, and norms and social values.
This thoroughly revised and updated text, now in its fifth edition, continues to provide a rigorous introduction to the fundamentals of numerical methods required in scientific and technological applications, emphasizing on teaching students numerical methods and in helping them to develop problem-solving skills. While the essential features of the previous editions such as References to MATLAB, IMSL, Numerical Recipes and program libraries for implementing the numerical methods are retained, a chapter on spline functions has been added in this edition because of their increasing importance in applications. This text is designed for undergraduate students of all branches of engineering. Includes additional modified illustrative examples and problems in every chapter. Provides answers to all chapter-end exercises. Illustrates algorithms, computational steps or flow charts for many numerical methods. Contains four model question papers at the end of the text.
A thorough presentation of the methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, designed for undergraduates majoring in mathematics. The book includes detailed and well-motivated explanations followed by numerous examples, varied problem sets, and computer-generated graphs of solutions and applications. This book varies from "Elementary Differential Equations, 4th Ed", in that it includes an extra chapter on boundary value problems.
"This is a remarkably comprehensive treatment of the field, covering in considerable detail modulation, coding (both source and channel), encryption, multiple access, and spread spectrum. It can serve both as an excellent introduction for the graduate student with some background in probability theory or as a valuable reference for the practicing communication system engineer. For both communities, the treatment is clear and well presented."
Key to Differential Calculus is a comprehensive book for students of standard XII preparing for various engineering entrance examinations.

Numerical Methods form an integral part of the mathematical background required for students of Mathematics, Science and Engineering. This book, Numerical Methods, is an extension of four long experience of teaching this subject to various courses. The invaluable experience of using computer based numerical techniques for research and a project has helped value add to this book. Clarity and utility has been our constant goal. We have especially designed this book to achieve this objective. A vast number of solved examples followed by properly graded problems have been provided. Many examples and problems have been selected from recent question papers of various University and Engineering examinations. We have tried to make each chapter an independent unit so that the various topics could be studied without loss of continuity
Instructors love Numerical Methods for Engineers By Steven C.Chapra because it makes teaching easy! Students love it because it is written for them–with clear explanations and examples throughout. The text features a broad array of applications that span all engineering disciplines. The sixth edition retains the successful instructional techniques of earlier editions. Chapra and Canale’s unique approach opens each part of the text with sections called Motivation, Mathematical Background, and Orientation. This prepares the student for upcoming problems in a motivating and engaging manner. Each part closes with an Epilogue containing Trade-Offs, Important Relationships and Formulae, and Advanced Methods and Additional References. Much more than a summary, the Epilogue deepens understanding of what has been learn ed and provides a peek into more advanced methods. Helpful separate Appendices. “Getting Started with MATLAB” “Getting Started with Math cad” which make excellent references. Numerous new or revised problems drawn from actual engineering practice, many of which are based on exciting new areas such as bio engineering
The long-awaited revision of Fundamentals of Applied Probability and Random Processes expands on the central components that made the first edition a classic. The title is based on the premise that engineers use probability as a modeling tool, and that probability can be applied to the solution of engineering problems. Engineers and students studying probability and random processes also need to analyze data, and thus need some knowledge of statistics. This book is designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in probability and stochastic processes, demonstrate their applicability to real-world problems, and introduce the basics of statistics. The book's clear writing style and homework problems make it ideal for the classroom or for self-study.

It has also proved useful for technician training programs in industry.
The technologies we use have turned into compulsions, if not full-fledged addictions. It's the impulse to check a message notification. It's the pull to visit YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter for just a few minutes, only to find yourself still tapping and scrolling an hour later. It's the urge you likely feel throughout your day but hardly notice.
