Vedic Mathematics

Author : Bharati Krsna Tirthaji
Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass
ISBN: 8120801644 , 978-8120801646

This epich-making and monumental work on Vedic Mathematics unfolds a new method of approach. It relates to the truth of numbers and magnitudes equally applicable to all sciences and arts. The book brings to light how great and true knowledge is born of intuition, quite different from modern Western method. The ancient Indian method and its secret techniques are examined and shown to be capable of solving various problems of mathematics. The universe we live in has a basic mathematical structure obeying the rules of mathematical measures and relations. All the subjects in mathematics--Multiplication, Division, Factorization, Equations, Calculus, Analytical Conics, etc.--are dealt with in forty chapters, vividly working out all problems, in the easiest ever method discovered so far.

Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C

Author : Mark ,Allen ,Weiss
Publisher: Addison Wesley;
ISBN: 0201498405 , 978-0201498400


Mark Allen Weiss' successful book provides a modern approach to algorithms and data structures using the C programming language. The book's conceptual presentation focuses on ADTs and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency, with a particular concentration on performance and running time. The second edition contains a new chapter that examines advanced data structures such as red black trees, top down splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, and pairing heaps among others. All code examples now conform to ANSI C and coverage of the formal proofs underpinning several key data structures has been strengthened.

Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation

Author : Hopcroft, Motwani and Ullman
Publisher: Addison Wesley
ISBN: 0321462254 , 978-0321462251


Amazon Review:

This classic book on formal languages, automata theory, and computational complexity has been updated to present theoretical concepts in a concise and straightforward manner with the increase of hands-on, practical applications. This new edition comes with Gradiance, an online assessment tool developed for computer science.

Gradiance is the most advanced online assessment tool developed for the computer science discipline. With its innovative underlying technology, Gradiance turns basic homework assignments and programming labs into an interactive learning experience for students. By using a series of “root questions” and hints, it not only tests a student’s capability, but actually simulates a one-on-one teacher-student tutorial that allows for the student to more easily learn the material. Through the programming labs, instructors are capable of testing, tracking, and honing their students’ skills, both in terms of syntax and semantics, with an unprecedented level of assessment never before offered.

Computer Networks

Author : Andrew s Tanenbaum
Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR;
ISBN: 0130661023 , 978-0130661029


Tanenbaum's Computer Networks is a good, solid introductory textbook on networking. People with basic knowledge can learn the basic networking. It can also be used for reference. from it five years ago and have been using it as a reference ever since.

It uses a layer-based approach, starting at the bottom and working upwards. A very a wide range of material is covered; there is even an appendix on queueing theory.

It starts with an explanation of the physical layer, continues with the data link layer, then the medium access control sublayer, the network layer, the transport layer, the application layer and last a very interesting chapter about network security.

It covers subjects such as emai, the domain name system, the World Wide Web and multimedia (including voice over IP).

Operating System Concepts‎

Author : Galvin , Silberschatz , Gagne
Publisher: Wiley; 6th edition
ISBN: 0471417432 , 978-0471417439


Operating systems are large and complex, and yet must function with near-absolute reliability--that's why they're a class unto themselves in the field of software development. Since its first release 20 years ago, "the dinosaur book"--Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, and Greg Gagne--has been a valuable reference for designers and implementers of operating systems. The newly released sixth edition of this book maintains the volume's authority with new sections on thread management, distributed processes, and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). There's also information on the workings of the latest crop of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows 2000, Linux, FreeBSD, and compact operating systems for handheld devices.

This book is concerned with the design of operating systems, which is to say it enumerates the problems that pop up in the creation of efficient systems and explores alternative ways of dealing with them, detailing the advantages and shortcomings of each. For example, in their chapter on scheduling CPU activity, the authors explain several algorithms (first-come, first-served, and round-robin scheduling, among others) for allocating the capacity of single and multiple processors among jobs. They highlight the relative advantages of each, and explain how several real-life operating systems solve the problem. They then present the reader with exercises (this book is essentially a university textbook) that inspire thought and discussion.

How to Solve It

Author : George Polya
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691023565 , 978-0691023564


A perennial bestseller by eminent mathematician G. Polya, How to Solve It will show anyone in any field how to think straight.

In lucid and appealing prose, Polya reveals how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be "reasoned" out--from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. Generations of readers have relished Polya's deft--indeed, brilliant--instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of the problem.

In this best-selling classic, George Pólya revealed how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be "reasoned" out--from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. Generations of readers have relished Pólya's deft instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of a problem. How to Solve It popularized heuristics, the art and science of discovery and invention. It has been in print continuously since 1945 and has been translated into twenty-three different languages.

Test Your C Skills

Author : Yashavant Kanetkar
Publisher: BPB Publications
ISBN-10: 8170298016
ISBN-13: 978-8170298014


C language appears to be simple it has a number of features which can challenge the best in the field. Unless you fully understand what these features are and how they are used you would not be able to answer these tests confidently. Instead of taking the regular approach of discussing each of these features one by one, this book takes a different route. It highlights these features through questions, about 1000 of them. Answers are furnished for each question which illustrates the key points lucidly.
