At first glance Moolchi is just another unassuming boy whose greatest talent is running away from bullies. Then one day, Moolchi's absentee father sends him a most unusual gift-a stunningly-proportioned 'girl' who calls herself 'Six' and mumbles about having a 'prime directive.' This strange creature quickly turns the boy's life upside-down, violently disposing of anybody who gets in his or her way. While ominous storm clouds gather on the horizon, Moolchi remains blissfully unaware of the cute hall monitor who harbors a crush on him or the intentions of this mysterious femme fatale.

Jamshīd al-Kāshī’s Miftāḥ al-Ḥisab (Key to Arithmetic) was largely unknown to researchers until the mid-20th century, and has not been translated to English until now. This is the second book in a multi-volume set that finally brings al-Kāshī’s groundbreaking textbook to English audiences in its entirety. As soon as it was studied by modern researchers, it changed some false assumptions about the history of certain topics in mathematics. Written as a textbook for students of mathematics, astronomy, accounting, engineering, and architecture, Miftah covers a wide range of topics in arithmetic, geometry, and algebra. By sharing al-Kāshī’s most comprehensive work with a wider audience, this book will help establish a more complete history of mathematics, and extend al-Kāshī’s influence into the 21st century and beyond. The book opens by briefly recounting al-Kāshī’s biography, so as to situate readers in the work’s rich historical context. His impressive status in the kingdom of Ulugh Beg is detailed, as well as his contributions to both mathematics and astronomy. As a master calculator and astronomer, al-Kāshī’s calculations of 2π and sin(10) were by far the most accurate for almost two centuries. His law of cosines is still studied in schools today. This translation contributes to the understanding and appreciation of al-Kāshī’s esteemed place in the scientific world. A side-by-side presentation of the source manuscript—one of the oldest known copies—and the English translation is provided on each page. Detailed footnotes are also provided throughout, which will offer readers an even deeper look at the text’s mathematical and historical basis. Researchers and students of the history of mathematics will find this volume indispensable in filling in a frequently overlooked time period and region. This volume will also provide anybody interested in the history of Islamic culture with an insightful look at one of the mathematical world’s most neglected figures.

This new edition of a very well-known and popular IIT-JEE Mathematics prep book carries all its hallmark features of the earlier editions. Along with exploration of theory, deƒOnitions and derivations, the book carries a plenty of solved examples - from simple ones to more complex and tough problems in each chapter - to hand-hold students into the process of problem solving. After every important topic, problem exercises have been given which the students are expected to solve on their own. Hints and solutions of these are given in case the students need to refer to these. Apart from the newer Main and Advanced problems, this edition carries all the old classic problems of the past decades from JEE as well as other similar examinations, because many such questions and their solutions are thought to be extremely important for developing a proper pedagogical approach to solving IIT-JEE Mathematics problems irrespective of year of examination. An assortment of selected problems of Main and Advanced exams of the last 5 years have been given at the end of the book along with solutions which the students can use as integrative practice questions and also get familiar with the trends of the recently held examinations. For an audio-visual demo and to get a closer look-and-feel of solving questions live, students are advised to go through the videos given for each chapter by scanning the QR codes given on the chapter-opening page. Each of these videos have been prepared with utmost care by keeping the natural ƒPow of treatment of the concepts in the book. These are accessible free of any additional cost to the students!

Shells are basic structural elements of modern technology and everyday life. Examples of shell structures in technology include automobile bodies, water and oil tanks, pipelines, silos, wind turbine towers, and nanotubes. Nature is full of living shells such as leaves of trees, blooming flowers, seashells, cell membranes or wings of insects. In the human body arteries, the eye shell, the diaphragm, the skin and the pericardium are all shells as well. Shell Structures: Theory and Applications, Volume 4 contains 132 contributions presented at the 11th Conference on Shell Structures: Theory and Applications (Gdansk, Poland, 11-13 October 2017). The papers reflect a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering problems from theoretical modelling through strength, stability and dynamic behaviour, numerical analyses, biomechanic applications up to engineering design of shell structures. Shell Structures: Theory and Applications, Volume 4 will be of interest to academics, researchers, designers and engineers dealing with modelling and analyses of shell structures. It may also provide supplementary reading to graduate students in Civil, Mechanical, Naval and Aerospace Engineering.
