<p>The Series in Metallurgy and Materials Science was initiated during the
Diamond Jubilee of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM). This book is the fourth
textbook in the series. &nbsp;<br />
According to the author, the requirements for a text of this kind are: it should
be concise and contemporary, less descriptive, based on fundamentals and
sufficiently quantitative. This is because courses on extractive metallurgy,
mineral processing, fuels, furnaces and refractories have been dispensed with to
accommodate newer subjects related to structure, properties and processing of
different kinds of emerging and functional materials such as refractories,
polymers and composites. <strong><em>A First Course in Iron and
Steelmaking</em></strong> is a textbook catering to undergraduate
metallurgical engineering students that fulfils all these criteria. The author’s
experience in more than a dozen domestic steel and refractory industries has added
flavour and value to the concepts presented in the book. </p>

<p>This book is a comprehensive resource for students of undergraduate
postgraduate courses in mathematics, physics and engineering. It makes use of
numerous worked-out examples to show how the study of complex numbers and their
derivatives and properties helps in solving many physical problems. Beginning with
the algebraic and analytic properties of complex numbers, the reader is introduced
to topological notions of sets in the complex plane, sequence and series
representation of complex numbers, limit, continuity and differentiability of
complex functions, and branch cut and branch points in multi-valued functions.
Important theorems such as Ascoli–Arzela theorem, Montel’s theorem, Riemann
mapping theorem, and the concept of Schawarz–Cristoffel transformations widely
used in various fields are established. The notion of entire functions and their
properties and direct and indirect analytic continuation of an analytic function,
too, are covered. <br />
The book contains an interesting range of chapter-end review exercises that will
be of help to students and teachers alike. The inclusion of multiple-choice
questions, in particular, will be of interest to those preparing for competitive
examinations such as the NET, SET and GATE.<br />

>Advances in Stainless Steels</em></b> is the fourth book in the
IIM–Universities Press book series on Metallurgy and Materials Science. The book
focusses on various facets—processing, component design, properties, fabrication

of versatile alloys, which can be tailored to exhibit a wide range of engineering
properties by alloy design and controlled thermomechanical treatments to meet
demanding service conditions. Stainless steel production in India is presently
about 1.8 million tonnes and accounts for nearly 7% of global tonnage produced.

of stainless steel—from alloy design and characterization to engineering design,
fabrication, mechanical properties, corrosion, quality assurance of components, in-
service performance assessment, life prediction and failure analysis of materials
and components. The contents provide useful feedback for further developments aimed

to anyone who wishes to understand geometry and the axiomatic method better. It
introduces a modern, rigorous, axiomatic treatment of Euclidean and (to a lesser

reading and writing proofs while at the same time developing most of the concrete
geometric relationships that secondary teachers will need to know in the

Part 2A is devoted to basic complex analysis. It interweaves three analytic threads
associated with Cauchy, Riemann, and Weierstrass, respectively. Cauchy’s view
focuses on the differential and integral calculus of functions of a complex
variable, with the key topics being the Cauchy integral formula and contour
integration. For Riemann, the geometry of the complex plane is central, with key
topics being fractional linear transformations and conformal mapping. For
Weierstrass, the power series is king, with key topics being spaces of analytic
functions, the product formulas of Weierstrass and Hadamard, and the Weierstrass
theory of elliptic functions. Subjects in this volume that are often missing in
other texts include the Cauchy integral theorem when the contour is the boundary of
a Jordan region, continued fractions, two proofs of the big Picard theorem, the
uniformization theorem, Ahlfors's function, the sheaf of analytic germs, and
Jacobi, as well as Weierstrass, elliptic functions.

This introductory textbook on basic electrical engineering provides a firm
foundation to the basic concepts of electrical circuits and systems. The material
in the book can be considered in three parts—electric circuits (dc and ac), field
parts (magnetic and electric), and electrical machines. Beginning with the
fundamental concepts of electricity and electrical elements, it provides a
balanced coverage of dc and ac electric circuits and electrical machines. The
principles of operation of transformers, dc machines, both generator and motor
including three-phase induction motors, as well as synchronous ac machines, both
generator and motor, are covered in great detail. The book includes a fair number
of solved illustrative examples and exercises, carefully designed to give the
reader sufficient help in assimilating concepts and applying them to practical
situations. The contents of the book meet the curriculum requirements of the first
year undergraduate engineering programme prescribed in India.

for a capstone undergraduate course, or for beginning graduate students. Material
needed from real analysis is quoted without proof, and issues of Lebesgue measure
theory are treated rather informally. Included are a number of applications of
Fourier Series, and Fourier Analysis in higher dimensions is briefly sketched. A
student may eventually want to move on to Fourier Analysis discussed in a more
advanced way, either by way of more general orthogonal systems, or in the language
of Banach spaces, or of locally compact commutative groups, but the experience of
the classical setting provides a mental image of what is going on in an abstract
setting.</p></td><td><p><b>Hugh L. Montgomery</b>:

This introductory undergraduate engineering textbook on mechanics has been
developed by the authors based on their experience of teaching the subject at IIT
Delhi for over three decades. Students of physics and mathematics too will find the
clear, concise and rigorous treatment of classical mechanics useful.</p>
<p>The subject has been developed in the spirit of modern continuum
mechanics, as the classical model is physically valid only for systems of finite
size. The logical sequence of kinematics, axioms, dynamics and statics has been
followed, and statics treated as a special case of dynamics. Concepts are
rigorously defined for the general case, prior to presenting their specific forms
for particular cases. This approach helps in developing abstract thinking and
avoiding ambiguities. A large number of examples that mimic real-life engineering
systems have been included to illustrate the underlying principles and a systematic
approach to solving problems.</p>

differentiated. Simplification and modelling of physical systems has been

<li>Clear and explanatory diagrams have been extensively used for

geometry represents a radical departure from classical geometry, which focuses on
smooth objects that “straighten out” under magnification. Fractals, which take
their name from the shape of fractured objects, can be characterized as retaining
their lack of smoothness under magnification. The properties of fractals come to
light under repeated magnification, which we refer to informally as “zooming in”.

an innovative modern exposition of geometry, or rather, of geometries; it is the
first textbook in which Felix Klein’s Erlangen program (the action of
transformation groups) is systematically used as the basis for defining various
geometries. The course of study presented is dedicated to the proposition that all
geometries are created equal--although some, of course, remain more equal than
others. The author concentrates on several of the more distinguished and beautiful
ones, which include what he terms “toy geometries”, the geometries of platonic
bodies, discrete geometries, and classical continuous geometries. The text is based
on first-year semester course lectures delivered at the Independent University of
Moscow in 2003 and 2006. It is by no means a formal algebraic or analytic treatment
of geometric topics, but rather, a highly visual exposition containing upwards of
200 illustrations. The reader is expected to possess a familiarity with elementary
Euclidean geometry, albeit those lacking this knowledge may refer to a compendium
in Chapter 0. Per the author’s predilection, the book contains very little
regarding the axiomatic approach to geometry (save for a single chapter on the
history of non-Euclidean geometry), but two appendices provide a detailed treatment
of Euclid’s and Hilbert’s axiomatics. Perhaps the most important aspect of this
course is the problems, which appear at the end of each chapter, and are
supplemented with answers at the conclusion of the text. By analyzing and solving
these problems, the reader will become capable of thinking and working
geometrically, much more so than by simply learning the theory.</p>

comprehensive reference work that covers aspects of electrical distribution
engineering—theory, design philosophy, data and standards—essential for a

projects. It makes available ready-to-use information and data that are otherwise
scattered in technical literature and product specifications of manufacturers,
which are essential for practically executing a job.</p>
<p>The second edition of the Handbook has four new appendixes. Appendix-1
contains a worked-out design example, that of an electrical scheme of a power
transformer manufacturing unit, which cites the section and entry number in the
book pertaining to the detail that is being worked out, e.g., the basic building
structure, soil resistivity, earthing requirement, lumen level, equipment details,
power loads for existing and future expansion needs, etc. This is expected to serve
as a practical guide on how to use the book effectively in an actual project
design. Appendix 2 includes the definition of per unit quantities, information on
selection of circuit breakers and protection relays, power distribution solutions
for bus duct systems along with some worked-out examples. Appendix 3 provides a
quick reference to some of the frequently-used fundamental theorems and
mathematical techniques in ac circuit analysis. It includes an introduction to
complex numbers, Kirchoff’s law, potential divider theorem, current divider
theorem, superimposition theorem, Thevenin’s theorem, Norton’s theorem, maximum
power transfer theorem and the star–mesh transformation. Appendix 4 covers the
essentials of matrix operations. </p>
<p>All the above inclusions add to the utility of the book as a handbook,
particularly the worked-out example in Appendix 1, which, besides being a guide on
how to use the book, is a step-by-step instruction on designing a typical
electrification scheme. </p>
<p>This is an easy-to-use handy reference for all practicing engineers in
electrical distribution field. All the available handbooks in this area are heavily
loaded with theory and have less of actual data from the execution point of view.
The illustrative example provided in Appendix 1 is a step-by-step guide to
designing and implementing a plan for a large electrification project. The cue
provided here on how to effectively use the data and theory in the handbook will be
an added help to users in their tasks of planning, designing, implementing and

science, and engineering. In this book, the authors convey the remarkable beauty
and applicability of the ideas that have grown from Fourier theory. They present
for an advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student audience the basics of
harmonic analysis, from Fourier’s study of the heat equation, and the decomposition
of functions into sums of cosines and sines (frequency analysis), to dyadic
harmonic analysis, and the decomposition of functions into a Haar basis (time
localization). While concentrating on the Fourier and Haar cases, the book touches
on aspects of the world that lies between these two different ways of decomposing
functions: time-frequency analysis (wavelets). Both finite and continuous
perspectives are presented, allowing for the introduction of discrete Fourier and
Haar transforms and fast algorithms, such as the fast Fourier transform (fft) and
its wavelet analogues. The approach combines rigorous proof, inviting motivation,
and numerous applications. Over 250 exercises are included in the text. Each
chapter ends with ideas for projects in harmonic analysis that students can work on

analysis, which has been remarkably effective in many contexts, uses linear phase
functions to study functions. Some questions, such as problems involving arithmetic

order Fourier analysis is a subject that has become very active only recently.
Gowers, in groundbreaking work, developed many of the basic concepts of this theory
in order to give a new, quantitative proof of Szemerédi’s theorem on
arithmetic progressions. However, there are also precursors to this theory in
Weyl’s classical theory of equidistribution, as well as in Furstenberg’s structural
theory of dynamical systems. The book serves as an introduction to the field,
giving the beginning graduate student in the subject a high-level overview of the
field. The text focuses on the simplest illustrative examples of key results,

follows chapters where equilibria are the most important feature, where scalar
(energy) functions is the principal tool, where periodic orbits appear, and
finally, chaotic systems of differential equations. The many different approaches
are systematically introduced through examples and theorems. The material on
discrete dynamical systems starts with maps of one variable and proceeds to systems
in higher dimensions. The treatment starts with examples where the periodic points
can be found explicitly and then introduces symbolic dynamics to analyze where they
can be shown to exist but not given in explicit form. Chaotic systems are presented
both mathematically and more computationally using Lyapunov exponents. With the
one-dimensional maps as models, the multidimensional maps cover the same material
in higher dimensions. This higher dimensional material is less computational and
more conceptual and theoretical. The final chapter on fractals introduces various
dimensions which is another computational tool for measuring the complexity of a

propagation of waves of various nature through a quasi-one-dimensional (e.g.,
“meso-” or “nano-scale”) system that looks like a thin neighborhood of a graph.

various operations to separate a mixture into its individual components—a frequent
requirement in chemical industries. The differences in the physical properties of
the components to be separated – such as the vapour pressure, solubility or
diffusivity – are utilised to transfer material from one homogenous phase to
another. Techniques such as gas absorption, distillation, leaching, extraction,
crystallisation, humidification, drying, adsorption and membrane based separation
processes involve mass transfer and can be carried out due to the existence of a
concentration gradient within the system. Mass Transfer Concepts equips an engineer
with knowledge of all these operations.

mechanics and the theory of operators on Hilbert space have been deeply linked
since their beginnings in the early twentieth century. States of a quantum system
correspond to certain elements of the configuration space and observables
correspond to certain operators on the space. This book is a brief, but self-
contained, introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum mechanics, with a
view towards applications to Schrodinger operators. Part 1 of the book is a concise
introduction to the spectral theory of unbounded operators. Only those topics that
will be needed for later applications are covered. The spectral theorem is a
central topic in this approach and is introduced at an early stage. Part 2 starts
with the free Schrödinger equation and computes the free resolvent and time
evolution. Position, momentum, and angular momentum are discussed via algebraic
methods. Various mathematical methods are developed, which are then used to compute
the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. Further topics include the nondegeneracy of the
ground state, spectra of atoms, and scattering theory. This book serves as a self-
contained introduction to spectral theory of unbounded operators in Hilbert space
with full proofs and minimal prerequisites: Only a solid knowledge of advanced
calculus and a one-semester introduction to complex analysis are required. In
particular, no functional analysis and no Lebesgue integration theory are assumed.
It develops the mathematical tools necessary to prove some key results in
nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. This new edition has additions and improvements
throughout the book to make the presentation more student friendly. The book is
written in a very clear and compact style. It is well suited for self-study and
includes numerous exercises (many with hints).</p><p>

<p style="text-align: justify">This book uses a case-study-based
approach for providing a comprehensive introduction to the principles of object-
oriented design. The salient points of its coverage are:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify">A sound footing on object-
oriented concepts such as classes, objects, interfaces, inheritance,
polymorphism, dynamic linking, etc.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify">A good introduction to the
stage of requirements analysis</li>
<li style="text-align: justify">Use of UML to document user
requirements and design</li>
<li style="text-align: justify">An extensive treatment of

<li style="text-align: justify">Introduction to the art and

<li style="text-align: justify">Pointers to resources that
further the reader's knowledge</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify">The stress of the book is on
implementation aspects, without which the learning is incomplete. This is achieved
through the use of case studies for introducing the various concepts of analysis
and design, ensuring that the theory is never separate from the implementation
aspects. In the first edition, UML was introduced on an “as-needed” basis; certain
UML diagrams that were not needed were not covered. This edition includes a new
chapter for providing a concise introduction to the remaining UML diagrams using
the same holistic approach used in the first edition.&nbsp; </p><div

conditions. Furthermore, linear equations are considered, including the Floquet
theorem, and some perturbation results. As somewhat independent topics, the
Frobenius method for linear equations in the complex domain is established and
Sturm- Liouville boundary value problems, including oscillation theory, are
investigated. The second part introduces the concept of a dynamical system. The
Poincaré–Bendixson theorem is proved, and several examples of planar systems
from classical mechanics, ecology, and electrical engineering are investigated.

are discussed. Finally, stability is studied, including the stable manifold and the
Hartman–Grobman theorem for both continuous and discrete systems. The third part
introduces chaos, beginning with the basics for iterated interval maps and ending
with the Smale–Birkhoff theorem and the Melnikov method for homoclinic orbits. The

<p>The Series in Metallurgy and Materials Science was initiated during the
Diamond Jubilee of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM). In the last decade the
progress in the study and development of metallurgy and materials science has been
rapid and extensive, giving us a whole new array of materials, with a wide range of
applications, and a variety of techniques for both processing and characterising
them. This book is the first textbook in the series.</p>
<p>Since the 1920s modern powder metallurgy has been used to produce a wide
range of structural Powder Metallurgy (PM) components, self-lubricating bearings
and cutting tools. The conventional method involves the production of metal
powders, and manufacture of useful objects from such powders by die compaction and
sintering. Wrought products are also produced by this route. Powder injection
moulding permits the production of stronger, more uniform and more complex PM
parts. A detailed discussion of PM materials and products is given in the
book.</p>
<p><strong>UNIQUE FEATURES</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sintering has been elaborated in two chapters—Sintering theory and
Sintering technology.&nbsp;<br />
</li>
<li>Testing and Quality Control of PM Materials and Products, is not found
in many PM books.<br />
</li>
<li>Techno-economics of PM processing are also described in
detail.<br />
</li>
<li>Powder metallurgical aspects of both metallic and ceramic systems are
treated equally.<br />
</li>
<li>Materials handling at various stages of processing<br />
</li>
<li>Pressureless powder shaping<br />
</li>
<li>Functionally graded materials<br />
</li>
<li>Powder Metallurgy material code<br />
</li>
<li>New approach<br />
- Pyrophoricity and toxicity in Chapter 3&nbsp;<br />
- Nanostructured materials and the electronic theory of sintering in chapter
7&nbsp;<br />
</li>
<li>For powder metallurgical engineers<br />
- Various kinds of actual testing and quality control methods in Chapter
11&nbsp;<br />
- ceramics materials in Chapter 12&nbsp;<br />
- Wide range of practically applied parts in Chapter 13</li>
</ul>
<p>The book is based on the experience of teaching undergraduate and
postgraduate engineering students over several years. It serves as a textbook (both
for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in engineering) and also as a handy
reference book for engineers in the PM industry. In order to aid and broaden the
problem-solving capability of students, worked examples are included in each
chapter. In the end of chapter exercises, a variety of questions and problems are
included.</p>

an undergraduate programme in electronics and communications engineering, for
it&nbsp;focuses&nbsp;on probability and the random variable, on random
processes, linear systems and probabilistic tools for modelling of noise, which
are of direct relevance to this branch of engineering.&nbsp;Each topic is
introduced with the fundamental concepts and underlying theories in a concise
manner, and is then followed up with several worked-out examples for developing
problem-solving skills in the learner. Many of the problems have been drawn from
previous years'' examination papers to give students an exposure to the
variety and kinds typically encountered in exam situations; the focus of the
selection is to train them in the use of explicit probability distributions for
solving engineering and physics problems.</p>
<p>The contents are mapped to JNTU ECE syllabus, and many of the solved

The material is presented in the form of questions and answers and includes solved
as well as supplementary problems which students have to tackle. This calls for
constant application of what has been learnt, there by training students to answer
within an allotted time.
</p><p>Starting from differential geometry, the book develops the basic
equations using both conventional (differential element approach) and variational
formulations. Equations are developed in the general curvilinear coordinate system
and particularised in later chapters for shells of special shape. Their
limitations while particularising for shells with rectangular planform are
explicitly brought out. The numerical methods that play a very significant role
today have been dealt with elaborately, with a complete listing of programs, which
can be used straightaway to solve problems. They will serve as useful models on
which students can develop new programmes</p><p>

first comprehensive introduction to the theory of mass transportation with its
many--and sometimes unexpected--applications. In a novel approach to the subject,
the book both surveys the topic and includes a chapter of problems, making it a
particularly useful graduate textbook. In 1781, Gaspard Monge defined the problem
of “optimal transportation” (or the transferring of mass with the least possible
amount of work), with applications to engineering in mind. In 1942, Leonid
Kantorovich applied the newborn machinery of linear programming to Monge’s problem,
with applications to economics in mind. In 1987, Yann Brenier used optimal
transportation to prove a new projection theorem on the set of measure preserving
maps, with applications to fluid mechanics in mind. Each of these contributions
marked the beginning of a whole mathematical theory, with many unexpected
ramifications. Nowadays, the Monge-Kantorovich problem is used and studied by
researchers from extremely diverse horizons, including probability theory,
functional analysis, isoperimetry, partial differential equations, and even
meteorology. Originating from a graduate course, the present volume is intended for
graduate students and researchers, covering both theory and applications. Readers
are only assumed to be familiar with the basics of measure theory and functional
analysis.</p>

focus on one specific sector of the field, namely the spectral distribution of
random Wigner matrix ensembles (such as the Gaussian unitary ensemble), as well as
iid matrix ensembles. The text is largely self-contained and starts with a review
of relevant aspects of probability theory and linear algebra. With over 200

them the least area? By combining the mathematical history of extrema with
contemporary examples, Paul J. Nahin answers these intriguing questions and more in
this engaging and witty volume. He shows how life often works at the extremes-with
values becoming as small (or as large) as possible-and how mathematicians over the
centuries have struggled to calculate these problems of minima and maxima. From
medieval writings to the development of modern calculus to the current field of
optimisation, Nahin tells the story of Dido's problem, Fermat and Descartes,

to build the shortest bridge possible between two towns, how to shop for garbage
bags, how to vary speed during a race, and how to make the perfect basketball shot.
