About the Book:

The subject matter has been presented in detail, in a simple form with clarity so as to enable students of varied background to understand the subject with little effort. An attempt has been made to explain the theory through illustrations, diagrams and examples for understanding the concepts involved keeping in mind the different levels of intelligence of students.

            This book has been specially written for the second year students of engineering colleges affiliated to JNTU Hyderabad and entirely cover the revised syllabus.

Salient Features
