"A systematic procedure for attacking problems is essential for effectiveness in teaching algebra and geometry so that pupils may acquaint themselves with comprehensive knowledge of subject matter and deductive reasoning and develop habits of careful thinking, observing, comparing and problem-solving to discover new ideas, statements, truths, concepts and theorems. Therefore, in order to be effective and successful, teachers have to become well aware of these techniques.

"A Textbook of Algebra and Geometry" brings to the fore each and every aspect, concept, technique, theorem and principle of algebra and geometry to make the subject teachers successful. In this endeavour the book delves deep into basic needs and aims, course content, problem-solving, various types of equations, preparatory course, graphs, linear (less)

The subject matter has been presented in such a way that it is easily accessible to students. All important propositions have been illustrated by a large number of solved examples and exercises.

Most of the examples have been taken from the examination papers of several universities. The method of presentation is very clear and lucid, which can be easily followed by the students.

The contents conform to the specified syllabi and are so structured as to enable the student to move easily from the fundamental to the complex. This book will be (less)

Index. Starting with a review of geometric ideas in Differential Calculus, the book leads the reader gently to a thorough study of the basic theory of differential manifolds and Lie groups, and ends with an introduction to Riemannian Geometry.

The book is written in a conversational tone and is ideal for self-study. All the concepts are well-motivated and explained with concrete examples.

The reader will find that Lie groups are used as thematic examples, so that when he finishes the theory of differential manifolds, he has learnt all basic results of the theory of Lie groups except Cartan’s theorem. The proof of Frobenius theorem, the geometric interpretation of the Lie bracket, the constant reconciliation of the modern view point with the classical approach, especially in tensor analysis, and the illustration of all concepts in (less)
