The present book Coordinate Geometry of Two Dimensions aims at providing the students with a detailed study of Polar Coordinates, Polar Equations of a Straight Line and a Circle, Polar Equations of Conics, General Equation of Second Degree and System of Conics — the topics included in the UGC syllabus. Primarily meant for students of B.Sc./B.A. of several Indian Universities, the book exactly covers the prescribed syllabus. It neither includes the irrelevant nor escapes the essential topics. Its approach is explanatory, lucid and comprehensive. The analytic explanation of the subject matter is very systematic which would enable the students to assess and thereby solve the related problems easily. Sufficient number of high-graded solved examples provided in the book facilitate better understanding of the various skills necessary in solving the problems. In addition, practice exercises of multiple varieties will undoubtedly prove helpful in quick revision of the subject. The figures and also the answers provided in the book are accurate and verified thoroughly. A proper study of the book will definitely bring to students a brilliant success. Even teachers will find it useful in elucidating the subject to the students of Mathematics. 1. Polar Coordinates, Polar Equations of a Straight Line and a Circle; 1.1. Introduction; 1.2.

Softcover. New. The present book Coordinate Geometry of Two Dimensions aims at providing the students with a detailed study of Polar Coordinates, Polar Equations of a Straight Line and a Circle, Polar Equations of Conics, General Equation of Second Degree and System of Conics — the topics included in the UGC syllabus. Primarily meant for students of B.Sc./B.A. of several Indian Universities, the book exactly covers the prescribed syllabus. It neither includes the irrelevant nor escapes the essential topics. Its approach is explanatory, lucid and comprehensive. The analytic explanation of the subject matter is very systematic which would enable the students to assess and thereby solve the related problems easily. Sufficient number of high-graded solved examples provided in the book facilitate better understanding of the various skills necessary in solving the problems. In addition, practice exercises of multiple varieties will undoubtedly prove helpful in quick revision of the subject. The figures and also the answers provided in the book are accurate and verified thoroughly. A proper study of the book will definitely bring to students a brilliant success. Even teachers will find it useful in elucidating the subject to the students of Mathematics. 1. Polar Coordinates, Polar Equations of a Straight Line and a Circle; 1.1. Introduction; 1.2.

Ltd., 2007 Ananda Coomaraswamy's Hinduism and Buddhism, like all his writings, is a masterpiece. In this work he sets forth his ideas with his usual depth and insight to discard the wrong notions about the divergence in the basic philosophies of these two major religions that have been propounded by 'European scholars and by Indians trained in our modern sceptical and evolutionary modes of thought.' In Hinduism and Buddhism Coomaraswamy has tried to show that the essentials of these religions are the same and form what may be called as the Philosophia Perennis or the Eternal Philosophy. His contention is that Hinduism and Buddhism are not contradictory but the one is a development out of the massive foundation of the other. It is only to those who have made a superficial study that Buddhism seems different from Brahmanism; the more profound is the study, the more difficult it becomes to distinguish Buddhism from Brahmanism. Hinduism and Buddhism is divided into two parts with copious notes added to each part. In the first part, dealing with Hinduism, Coomaraswamy has examined in detail the fundamental concepts like karma, maya, reincarnation, the darsanas, the sacrifice, social order, etc., and in the second part, dealing with Buddhism, he shows that in essentials it was the same as Hinduism and that Buddha did not strive 'to establish a new order to restore an older form.' In sum, the basic philosophy of great religions is drawn from a common fount and the new religions are but the recognition of a common thought manifested under different forms. Printed Pages: 96..
