Mathematical methods describe various analytical approaches for finding solution to the given physical problem. However, it becomes equally important to appreciate physical significance of mathematical solutions. Hence, importance is given to highlight physical significance of mathematical solutions wherever applicable.
The book is written mainly for average (non-star) students. Hence, every important step of derivation or solution is included.
Some of the model questions and answers provided at the end of each chapter will help the students on how to address typical questions in the examination.
Integration by parts and partial fraction method are reviewed in Annexure A and B as they are frequently used in many chapters.
