Sinopsis
The book has been divided into separate chapters covering variousbranches of the study. So far as possible, it has been arranged so that it can be worked through progressively from the beginning to the end although certain self-contained chapters may be read separately. Ideas are developed assuming a minimum knowledge, and every attempt has been made to present the work so that it does not appear simply as a collection of facts. It is hoped that in this way it has been made more interesting and readable.
There are numerous worked the text. Where possible the examples are taken from past examination papers of various examining institutions. These past examination questions have been used in order that the student will appreciate the standard required at the earliest opportunity. The author has made a step-by-step solution of the worked examples, thus piloting the student through the work without making undue assumptions. It must be remembered that whereas many steps may appear obvious to some, and could therefore be left out of the text, these same steps are not so clear to others. It is hoped that the book will cater for all.
