Prepared by Dr.Binayak Sahu Sample Questions Engineering Mathematics – IV - by Dr.Binayak Sahu Gandhi Institute for Education and Technology, Baniatangi, Bhubaneswar ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING TIPS : Never read Mathematics, but write Mathematics : Do not believe in reading Mathematics. Always adopt pen and paper for doing Mathematics otherwise you will be simply deceiving yourself. Regularity in Mathematics : The most important thing in the study of mathematics is regularity in its studies. Do not postpone your daily work in mathematics. My dear students, never forget to ask a doubt, if you have any, write in my e-mail ID: [email protected] GIET, Baniatangi, Bhubaneswar Engineering Mathematics – IV Page - 1 - Prepared by Dr.Binayak Sahu Engineering Mathematics - IV 1.
