It provides a thorough understanding of the basic principles and techniques of numerical methods, and their application to real-world problems. With an objective to provide a firm understanding of the basic concepts of numerical methods, the book presents introductory chapters on number systems, binary arithmetic, and programming tools and techniques for different programming languages such as C, C++, Basic, and Fortran. The book contains an exhaustive coverage of topics such as numerical solutions of linear and non-linear equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, linear least-squares problem with interpolation and extrapolation, numerical differentiation and integration, ordinary and partial differential equations including initial-value problem, boundary-value problem, and parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic partial differential equations. Written in a lucid style and student-friendly manner, the book includes a large number of solved examples and numerous end-chapter exercises. The book will also be useful for postgraduate students as well as practising numerical analysts, statisticians, and engineers. Key Features Assumes no prior knowledge of the subject; begins like a basic text for beginners and then delves into advanced topics Includes numerous examples with step-by-step procedures and a variety of end-chapter exercises to enhance understanding of key concepts Contains algorithms that can be easily implemented in conventional programming languages such as C, C++, Basic, and Fortran or in scientific computing tools such as Matlab and Mathematica Presents advanced topics such as parallel computing and neurocomputing in numerical methods Book jacket.

The Research Handbook on Islamic Law and Society provides an examination of the role of Islamic law as it applies in Muslim and non-Muslim societies through legislation, fatwa, court cases, sermons, media, or scholarly debate. It illuminates the intersection of social, political, economic and cultural factors that inform Islamic Law across a number of jurisdictions. Chapters evaluate when and how actors and institutions have turned to Islamic law to address problems faced by societies in Muslim and, in some cases, Western states.

This is the second edition of a classic first published in 1965. This updated edition contains concise extracts of landmark judgements relating to Muslim law in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It contains all the leading cases on most important issues such as Interpretation of Text, Who is a Muslim, Hybrids, Customs, Marriage, Dower, Dissolution of Marriage, Acknowledgements of Paternity and Legitimacy, Guardianship, Illegitimate Child, Gift, Life Interest, Wakf, Mosque, Pre-emption, Administration of Estates, Inheritance, Customary Law, Will, Testamentary Power, with recent updates and cases from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Edited by Inida's most outstanding scholar of Islamic law this volume will be an essential read for all libraries and institutions that catalogue books on Islamic law/studies. This is an essential reading for scholars and students of law and religion. It will be especially important to lawyers and judges as Fyzee is still considered the greatest authority on Islamic law. It will also be useful to scholars and students of applied jusriprudence and philosophy.
