Principles of Architecture aims at sensitizing students of civil

engineering and architecture to the relationship between
architecture and engineering.
Designed to meet the requirements of an introductory
course in architecture, the book provides the basic
knowledge of architecture as a design process, which results
in functionally efficient, economically viable, and aesthetically appealing buildings.
Starting with simple definitions, descriptions of basic elements, and principles of
design, the book covers the core topics in architecture such as aesthetic qualities
in buildings, aesthetic relationships, and aesthetic impact in detail. It also discusses
safety regulations, layout regulations, and building rules. Enriched with numerous
architectural examples from history, the book also presents the works and ideas of
some famous architects from India and abroad.

Spatial Data Analysis

An Introduction for GIS users

Queens University, Belfast

Assumes only limited prior knowledge of GIS and starts

Principles of Geographical Information Systems

Peter A. Burrough, Professor of Physical Geography, Utrecht University and
Rachael A. Mcdonnell, Hertford College, Oxford

Provides a comprehensive and concise introduction to

the theory and practice of Geographical Information

Systems (GIS)
Attention is paid to the problems of data quality and how
statistical errors in spatial data can affect the results of
spatial modelling
Fuzzy logic and continuous classification methods
are presented as methods for linking the two spatial
paradigms.

Includes an investigation of current developments in

providing spatial data for the whole world over the Internet.
This book presents a strong theoretical basis for GIS, which is often lacking in
other texts. Spatial data are usually based on two, dichotomous paradigms, exactly
defined entities in space, such as land parcels, or the continuous variation of single
attributes, such as temperature or rainfall. Methods for modelling both kinds of
phenomena and storing them in spatial databases are described in detail, including
the use of geostatistics for interpolating from points to continuous fields. Examples
of how spatial data and an analysis of their spatial interactions are used to solve a
wide range of practical problems are explained clearly and in detail.
Contents: 1. Geographical Information: Society, Science, and Systems; 2. Data
models and axioms: Formal abstractions of reality; 3. Geographical Data in the
Computer; 4. Data input, verification, storage and output; 5. Creating continuous
surfaces from point data; 6. Optimal interpolation using geostatistics; 7. The analysis
of discrete entities in space; 8. Spatial analysis using continuous fields; 9. Errors
and quality control; 10.Error propagation in numerical modelling; 11. Fuzzy sets

Arvind Varma, University of Notre Dame and Massimo Morbidelli, Technical
Chemistry Institute, ETH Zrich.

Focuses on techniques most used by engineers, including

an extensive chapter on nonlinear ordinary differential
equations and a strong chapter on perturbation methods

Incorporates many high quality diagrams which clarify

concepts and solutions

Includes numerous problems at the end of each chapter

Designed to provide a firm grounding in mathematical
methods for chemical engineering practitioners in academic
institutions and industry, this volume builds on the readers
previous knowledge of calculus, differential equations and linear algebra. Varma and
Morbidelli offer an integrated treatment of linear operator theory from determinants
through partial differential equations, and feature extensive chapters on both
ordinary differential equations and perturbation methods.

Environmental Studies is designed to meet the UGC
guidelines for a compulsory course on Environmental
Studies for undergraduate students of all disciplines.
Assuming very little background in mathematics or science,
it gives a balanced presentation of the major issues and concerns related to the
environment.
The book discusses the major environmental problems we face today: runaway
growth, imperiled ecosystems, disappearing forests, endangered species, dwindling
natural resources, dangerous toxic wastes, green laws, and other such issues. It
illustrates various problems, solutions, successes, and failures using more than 100
real-life case studies from India and elsewhere. Written in a student-friendly manner,
the text is enriched with a large number of illustrations.

the concepts and principles in such a way that the methods can be applied to any
discipline.
The book begins with an introduction to the concept of numerical method as an
approximation for solving a mathematical problem and the various kinds of errors and
conditions associated with such a method. Subsequently, the book provides detailed
explanations of numerical methods for linear system of equations, single as well as
multiple non-linear equations, approximation of functions, numerical derivatives and
integrals, single and multiple ordinary differential equations, boundary value problems,
and partial differential equations. The last chapter introduces some advanced topics
such as approximation using rational functions, finite element methods, and multi-grid
methods, for the students interested in numerical computations.
The ingenious use of a popular comic character to introduce various mathematical
