This textbook is designed as per the model curriculum of AICTE for the first year students of all branches of undergraduate programme in Engineering & Technology (BE/BTech). The subject of programming for problem Solving aims at developing problem solving skills among the students and the skills to create programs in C language for their implementation. This book emphasizes to empower the students to grasp the skills required for problem solving and to develop deep understanding of the constructs of C language. These aspects of the subject are well illustrated through enormous solved programming problems. Salient Features: l Simple and lucid language that enables students to grasp the subject. l Demonstrates the elegant programming style. l 165+ ready to run programs for reference and to illustrate the program development process. l 135+ Short answer type questions to provide an opportunity for self-assessment of the fundamental concepts learned by answering them precisely. l 165+ multiple choice questions to provide an opportunity to synthesize the fundamental concepts. l 90+ Programming problems to provide an opportunity to harness programming skills.

The textbook on “Workshop/ Manufacturing Practices” is designed to cater the needs of young minds of 21 century. The AICTE model curriculum and National Education Policy has driven a new wave in the technical education. The textbook is designed not only to cater the need of the syllabus but also to look things in a different perspective. The Workshop is the place where the core of learning about different materials, equipment, tools and techniques takes place. Basically the workshop used to prepare the small components by hand tools. Sometimes they may be parts of the large machines or may may be parts for replacement/repairs. In this text book an attempt has been made to connect the conventional tools usage to advanced machine tools usage. The relevant practical examples are quoted to make the readers more comfortable with product and processes. The blooms taxonomy is fallowed in construction of each chapters and exercises. The objective and multiple questions with higher order thinking may help the readers to not only to face the semester end exam even they may help in competitive and other examinations. Salient Features: l Manufacturing Methods l CNC Machining, Additive manufacturing l Fitting operations & power tools l Electrical & Electronic l Carpentry l Plastic mounding, glass cutting l Metal casting l Welding (arc welding & gas welding), brazing l Laboratory experiments and models l Appendices l References

Calculus, Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra covers all the Modules prescribed by AICTE. Model curriculum to all the 1st year students (except CSE) studying in engineering institutions and universities of the country. It serves as both text book and / or useful reference work. It contains 5 units which include calculus, matrices, sequences & series and multivariable calculus along with their applications. This renowned and well respected title provides in one handy volume with the essential mathematical tools that helps in understanding the subject and problem solving techniques with many real life engineering applications. As per trademark of AICTE, this book is in student friendly style, author has endeavored enormous efforts in providing numerous solved examples and exercise under each topic to facilitate better understanding of the concepts to the students. Majority of Questions in this book have been designed to success the reader understands of the subject. Professionals or those who are preparing for competitive examinations will also find this book very useful. This book will give the students a complete grasp of the mathematical skills that are needed by engineers all over the country. Some Salient Features of the Book: · In depth coverage of all related, essential and mentioned topics as per AICTE in simple presentation with clarity and accuracy. · Emphasis on the applications of concepts and theorems. · Core concepts are presented through a large number of solved graded model examples in an innovative and lucid manner. · A good number of relatively competitive problems are given at the end of each unit in the form of short questions, HOTS, assignments, MCQs and know more for student’s practices purpose. Practical /Projects/ Activity also given in each unit for enhancing the student’s capability, to increase the feeling of team work. · To clarify the subject, the text has been supplemented through Notes, Observations and Remarks; an attempt has been made to explain the topic through maximum use of geometries wherever possible. · Some standard problems with sufficient hints have been included in each exercise to gauge the student’s visual understanding and for grasp the theory. · Video links, interesting facts, uses of ICT also included after each topic in every unit for easy understanding of the readers. Also included the pictorial representations of many topics for fast and permanent grasping of the content.

This book has a perfect blend of theory as well as practicals and it has been presented in a manner that helps the readers to learn the concepts through practice and programming.

Globalization has brought in numerous opportunities for the teeming millions, with more focus on the students overall capability apart from academic competence. Many students, particularly those from non-English medium schools, find that they are not preferred due to their inadequacy of communication skills and soft skills, despite possessing sound knowledge in their subject area along with technical capability. Keeping in view their pre-employment needs and career requirements, the book will help the students to change their traditional mindsets from controlling to creativity; to employee empowerment and organizational learning; to gain skills in the language which has become the international lingua franca, a language of global economy. All the chapters are full of gems and rubies, but the chapters based on resume writing group discussion, conducting meetings, interview skills, grammar, etc., are the black pearls in the treasure trove. Also the chapters are dainty, detectable and delightful as part and parcel of your reading, writing, and speaking skills. This book will surely empower students with the language and life skills they need to carry out their career goals. It also provides ample opportunities for the students to build awareness and practice the language in real-life scenarios. Its integrated skills approach develops the students self-confidence to survive and succeed in professional and social encounters within the English speaking global community.
