Description
Wiley Wiley Acing The Gate: Engineering Mathematics And General Aptitude, 2Ed (Reprint 2019) by Anil K. Maini, Varsha Agrawal, Nakul Maini
The book presents the subjects of Engineering Mathematics and General Aptitude in a systematic, structured and precise manner. It intends to offer GATE aspirants a self-study and do-it-yourself approach by providing comprehensive and step-by-step treatment of each and every aspect of the GATE examination. In addition, the book aims to solve problems faced by aspirants in terms of extensive syllabus coverage of major engineering branches and unavailability of a standard book. The emphasis on fundamental concepts helps in developing the aptitude required for success in GATE. The book has all the three important 'C' qualities, that is Conciseness, Completeness and Correctness.
