Essentials of Dermatology and Sexually Transmitted Disease: An Illustrated Synopsis’ (2nd edition) is an easy-to-read book that addresses theory as well as clinical sections of the undergraduate medical curriculum. It will also be useful to the general practitioner handling dermatological cases in routine practice.
Salient features of the book:
Twenty-five chapters with concise description of diseases, their classical presentation and currently used methods ...
This book is an introductory text on geomorphology, the science of landforms. The purpose of this book is to introduce modern geomorphology to students in India. The authors have explained state-of-the-art concepts and methodology using, as far as possible, case studies from India. In that sense this book is probably unique, being a departure from the other available textbooks that use examples from outside the tropics, mostly from North America and Western ...
In recent years, rapid advancements have taken place in dental science. Physiology as the mother subject in medicine has equal relevance in dentistry as applicable in modern medicine. This revised and enlarged edition of the practical book for dental students describes the core concepts and principles of practical physiology and has all relevant human and clinical practicals; the practicals on hematology have been thoroughly updated. It is now in two-colour to ...
Differential Topology provides an elementary and intuitive introduction to the study of smooth manifolds. In the years since its first publication, Guillemin and Pollack's book has become a standard text on the subject. It is a jewel of mathematical exposition, judiciously picking exactly the right mixture of detail and generality to display the richness within. The text is mostly self-contained, requiring only undergraduate analysis and linear algebra. By ...
This book provides an introduction to the interplay between linear algebra and dynamical systems in continuous time and in discrete time. It first reviews the d autonomous case for one matrix A via induced dynamical systems in R and on Grassmannian manifolds. Then the main nonautonomous approaches are presented for which the time dependency of A(t) is given via skew-product flows using periodicity, or topological (chain recurrence) or ergodic properties ...
Fourier Analysis is an important area of mathematics, especially in light of its importance in physics, chemistry, and engineering. Yet it seems that this subject is rarely offered to undergraduates. This book introduces Fourier Analysis in its three most classical settings: The Discrete Fourier Transform for periodic sequences, Fourier Series for periodic functions, and the Fourier Transform for functions on the real line.
The presentation is accessible for ...
Fractal geometry represents a radical departure from classical geometry, which focuses on smooth objects that “straighten out” under magnification. Fractals, which take their name from the shape of fractured objects, can be characterized as retaining their lack of smoothness under magnification. The properties of fractals come to light under repeated magnification, which we refer to informally as “zooming in”. This zooming-in process has ...
Operations Research is a discipline that uses quantitative and mathematical techniques for decision-making when the selection involved is complex and cannot be arrived at using routine judgment and expertise. The book has been designed for graduate and post-graduate students of engineering, mathematics, statistics and management in Indian universities. The book provides a practical introduction to the primary concepts and techniques of optimization and deals at ...
Vector is one of the important concepts necessary for the study of Physics, Applied Mathematics and Engineering. This book presents the principal topics in the subject – scalars, vectors, vector algebra, vector differentiation and the differential operator, vector integration and integral theorems – in a clear and simple manner. For each topic, the definitions of important terms, properties and deductions are provided, along with worked-out examples ...
"Ananthanarayan and Paniker’s Textbook of Microbiology is the acknowledged classic textbook on the subject in India. This, the eighth edition of the book, has a completely new full-colour layout, which is further enhanced by a large number of colour illustrations and photographs. In addition, a comprehensive section on the clinical aspects of microbiology aims to help students get to grips with the clinical applications of this field.
This book also ...
Civil Engineering Contracts and Estimates, Fourth Edition, combines in a single book, two important sections of Civil Engineering Contracts and Estimates. The first edition was designed to serve as a textbook for engineering courses without any need for frequent changes. Improved contract conditions and management techniques were taken care of in the second edition. The use of FIDIC and other similar standard contract forms, particularly Public Private ...
1. Write-up for the back cover and brochure: Volume I of Transportation Engineering provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of highway engineering: surveys for alignment; geometric design; pavement design; construction aspects that include pavement materials, drainage, roadside development and arboriculture; maintenance; and highway economics and finance. The contents have been designed with care to cover the syllabus of undergraduate programmes of all ...
This textbook on commutative algebra presents basic results necessary for elementary algebraic geometry and introduces basic homological algebra and homological methods in commutative algebra. Its lecture-notes style will help readers with some mathematical maturity to study it on their own. Motivations are given at a number of places, examples follow every definition and exercises are given at the end of each section.
Contents: Preface. 1. Modules. 2. ...
This book provides a clear and concise overview of the basic principles of pneumatics technology, the design of pneumatic systems and the applications of the same for a host of engineering solutions, including industrial control. Designed primarily as an undergraduate textbook for mechanical, production, automobile and mechatronics engineering disciplines, it covers the subject in sufficient detail to be of use to postgraduate students as well as those preparing ...
