  • Hi Guys,

    I am new to this forum. Could you please tell me which book I can refer for Rigid Body dynamics? It is a large portion to cover.

  • @Daredevil
    This is a good book. I have also started reading it two days back. Do you have solution key for this?

    I don't think there will be any. I am able to solve most of the unsolved problems......
  • DareDevil, can i have your contact number? I have some doubts as i am a newbie to mathematics
  • I have following material almost new as I opted for maths but now I will do with sociology:
    Krishna series: Modern Algebra, Analytical geometry 3D, Matrices, Complex Analysis, Dynamics, Statics, Vector Calculus
    A text book of calculus by SC Arora and Ramesh Singh
    Ordinary and Partial Differential equations by M D Raisinghania
    Full xerox material of K Venkanna.
    Anyone interested?

    Sorry bro. cant talk ( I personally have stopped using phone after prelims to minimize distraction.). I request you to please write down your queries right here or send me in my inbox.

    The benefit of throwing the doubt in public domain is many other might come to your rescue which otherwise not possible in bilateral discussion.
  • I want to invite every one to come and share their strategy to revise maths. In my last mains exam with Math, in few questions I could not proceed further after a point. Which caused a huge loss of marks because UPSC does not do any step marking in maths. So this makes revision more crucial.

  • guys i have completed engineering ....and want to take mathematics as a optimal subject for ias mains exam(because my writing skills are nt very good and also mathematics is scoring subject )......if m nt very good in mathematics, not even bad ....but there are some topics which i find them very difficult to understand like modern algebra ....and there are some more topics .... so i always scare for taking math as a my optional ....because some topics can ruin my whole hard work ....... what should i do ..please suggest me ....??(sorry for bad English , m trying to improve that ) :D :-))

    Hello Guys!
    I'm also taking mathematics as an optional .
    Right now I'm only following textbooks. But I've seen " xerox material of venkanna " in many posts .
    Is it really good (helpful)? I don't want to burden myself with too much reading material.
    Also If you have previous year question papers (last 5 or 10yrs) please give me a download link.
    Thanks in advance.
