From the preface: “This memoir is an account of the work of a British expedition which spent the Summer of 1938 in excavating a number of sites in the Swat Valley and in making an archaeological reconnaissance in the Oxus territories of Afghanistan. The expedition, a party of four, was supported by a number of learned societies in England, and the publication of this volume by the Government of India as one of this series is due to the kindness of the Director-General of the Archaeological Survey, Rao Bahadur K.

"This book is the result of direct observation and descriptive survey research of the author in identifying the problem solving behaviours of mathematics teachers and students. Problem solving is not mere mathematical procedure or activity, but the mathematics teacher should develop in the children the generalisable problem solving skills further to apply these abilities in their life's problems when ever there is challenging situation.

The book presents a different schedule to exercise and study the process of problem solving and yielding many new ideas into the stages of problem solving. This study is helpful to diagnose the difficulties faced by the children and the teachers of mathematics in following, the process of problem solving.

It is also helpful to identify the behaviours expressed by teachers and students to (less)

Illness and press of work that compelled me to put off the publication of it have also prevented me from consulting recent books and periodicals and trying to obtain further light on some of the obscure points. But I hope that other students, and particularly the young leisured members of our learned circles will take up these questions and go into them thoroughly.

For it is to the younger men we must look for the best work in this field. The older generation of students in Ceylon to-day is mostly (less)

"The author of this book explains the issues of ecology and environment in a way that is friendly to teachers and learners both. It discusses the topics of ecology and ecosystems, environment and pollution, human activities and environment, waste management, sustainable development, natural resources management and concurrent issues such as global warning, ozone depletion, desertification of land, acid rain, afforestation and eco-development, environmental ethics and our rich environmental traditions.

The ultimate objective of this book is to impart ecological environmental status of the country with knowledge of corrective measures to the upcoming generation of our country with a view to establish environmentalism and to prepare environmentalists. The author, inspired by the SCI, showed his gratitude to Hon'ble Supreme Court of India for taking the issue of (less)

The objective of this book is to teaching the insights and problem-solving skills that are most useful in solving mathematical problems arising in the course of modern research. Intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, the book assumes only a limited familiarity with differential equations and complex variables.

The presentation begins with a review of differential and difference equations; develops local asymptotic methods for differential and difference equations; explains perturbation and summation theory; and concludes with a an exposition of global asymptotic methods, including boundary-layer theory, WKB theory, and multiple-scale analysis (less)
