The book in its present form is due to my interaction with the students for quite a long time.It had been my long-cherished desire to write a book covering most of the topics that form the syllabii of the Engineering and Science students at the degree level.Many students,although able to understand the various topics of the books,may not be able to put their knowledge to use.For this purpose a number of questions and problems are given at the end of each chapter.
