  Description: Written according to the latest curriculum of the UGC and Indian universities, the subject matter has been selected and developed in such a manner so as to provide a bridge between advanced and introductory level courses.

A good number of solved examples are included to illustrate and supplement the text besides review questions and problems. A large number of short-answers question and objective-type questions are given to meet the requirements for various entrance, UGC-CSIR: NET-SLET and UPSC examinations. Also included in the book are chapters on Fluid Mechanics, Analytical Mechanics and Non-linear Oscillations and Chaos. The pedagogical skill of the authors makes the presentation of the text extremely clear and comprehensive.
