* A list of syllabus learning outcomes covered in each chapter * Referencing of each chapter section to the syllabus Learning Outcomes covered in the section * Clear concise topic-by-topic coverage * Examples and Exercises to reinforce learning, confirm understanding and stimulate thought * A round up of the key points in each chapter * A quick quiz at the end of each chapterWe recognise that most students have only limited time for study and that some study material available on the market can be very time-consuming to use. BPP Learning Media has prepared study material which provides you with what you need to secure a good pass in your exam, while making effective use of your time.

BPP's long experience in preparing students for exams shows that question practice is a vital ingredient in exam success. Question practice will improve your exam technique and help to build confidence for tackling the exam itself. It can highlight problem areas and remind you of key points.BPP's Practice and Revision Kit for this subject will provide you with the question practice you need.

In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work, Dr. Rhorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, leads readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, answering the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know what they know? Features an introduction by Stephen Hawking.

This book addresses the emerging technology for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), covering OFDMA physical layer as well as network technology. The book also includes information on IEEE 802.16e and WiMAX networks and also offers a comparison with other OFDMA technologies. OFDMA is the fastest growing area in the wireless marketplace, and the backbone of systems used in WiMAX. WiMAX is the technology that enables wireless users to communicate at any time from any location without having to find a WiFi hotspot.

A systematic, building block-style plan for mastering the most daunting aspect of learning Chinese--how to remember the meaning of more than 2,000 of the most common characters--is provided in this handbook. Beginning with the simplest of strokes, such as those for numbers, scepter, and earth, and progressing to the extremely complex, such as destroy, insert, and mouse, this manual presents a methodology employing memory techniques to associate meanings with the characters' visual components. A sequence of numbered panels displays each character in two font styles, and a notation in the adjacent margin describes the character's pinyin pronunciation. Graphics that identify the components or characters from which the featured characters are drawn, and a listing of both the names of these root components, and the panel numbers that cite their location in the book augment the presentation. Beginners will be best served by using this guide in conjunction with the development of language skills, while those who are familiar with the language will find this book to be a comprehensive reference and refresher.

This book covers nearly all topics in Organic Chemistry taught upto the B.Sc. level. Topics like resonance, H-bond, hybridization, IUPAC nomenclature, acid-base theory of organic compounds, stereochemistry, structure reactivity relationship and spectroscopy have been introduced early in the book. Subsequent chapters deal with synthetic polymers, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols and phenols, ethers, aldehydes, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, carbohydrates, organometallics and terpenes. These topics have been discussed in-depth and in a comprehensive manner. A great deal of attention has been focussed on chemical reactions and their mechanisms. The scope and limitations of the reactions have been stated. Certain topics of general interest namely C.N.G., L.P.G., simple drugs, DNA finger printing, PUFA, trans fatty acids, soaps and detergents, pesticides, industrial alcohols, coal tar, octane number, chromatography, and artificial sweeteners have been highlighted at appropriate places. Also included are approximately 900 in-text and end-of-the-chapter problems, and a set of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) at the end of each chapter. A glossary of important terms is also included. This book has been designed as a comprehensive textbook for students upto B.Sc. level. In addition, the book will be immensely useful for those preparing for competitive examinations like I.I.T., AIEEE, medical entrance and others.
