The Pearson Guide to Mathematics for NDA Entrance Examination  (English, Paperback, Khattar Dinesh)

The Pearson Guide to Mathematics for the NDA Entrance Examination helps students crack the entrance examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to enter the National Defence Academy, a premier inter-services training institution for the future officers of the Indian army, navy and the air force.

The mathematics section of the entrance paper covers the maximum number of questions and, hence, the maximum marks. Therefore, it is important to master this section. In this book, logical and methodical problem-solving skills have been explained through a set of graded and solved examples. The arrangement of problems induces an appreciation of mathematics as a problem-solving tool that can be applied in various fields.
