(According to West Bengal University of Technology Syllabus)Primarily intended to serve as a basic text for students following introductory courses in all the branches of engineering, this volume will also be useful, as a reference text in applied mathematics, to engineers and scientists.
This well-organized and comprehensive text covers the complete syllabus of West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT), West Bengal. The subject matter of the book is organized in two parts:
Part 1 (For B.E., First semester students)
Part 2 (For B.E., Second semester students)
Part 1 includes comparison test, ratio test, Cauchy’s root test and their related problems. It also provides a chapter on Three-Dimensional Geometry which covers elementary ideas of surfaces like sphere, right circular line and right circular cylinders, and equations in standard forms.
Part 2 introduces the idea of a matrix and algebraic operations of matrices. Then it moves on to Gauss elimination process for solving a system of linear equations in three unknowns. It concludes with numerical differentiation and numerical integration.
