Preface

There are plenty of books already available in the market which are either

1. Mathematics Text Books – written for 12th & B.Sc Classes. These books are aimed to develop basic
concepts. As target of these books are School Boards or University Examinations, the difficulty
level and nature of these books are irrelevant to JEE Main / Advanced and other Engineering
Entrance Examinations.
2. Text Books by Foreign Authors – have excellent printing and more better presentation but a text
book is a text book, hence theory is applied and questions are not useful for JEE Main / Advanced
and other Engineering Entrance Examinations. A Graphic Calculator or Advanced Graphic
Software in his/her PC – still a rare of Indian Students do have, is a must to learn the concepts by
these books.
3. Guide Books – having a list of Formulae, Large Number of Subjective and Small Number of
Objective Problems
4. MCQ aka Objective Problems Books – Solved and Unsolved objective problems but very little or
no theory. These books are nothing but just a collection of mixed MCQ on every topic. These
books are not bothered about concept wise categorization or difficulty level gradation of
problems. As the name MCQ suggest, you need a subjective text book too simultaneously.

Keeping these things in mind, I have brought this book to you. This is the first book of a four Volume Set,
targeted at Students preparing for JEE Main / Advanced and other Engineering Entrance Examinations.

The Volume 1 is Algebra whereas Volume 2 is calculus, Volume 3 Coordinate Geometry and Volume 4 is
Trigonometry. Every Chapter has synopsis which contains definitions and formulae required for solving
problems.

You are advised to understand them thoroughly before going thorough solved problems section.

I have provided a wide range of questions which are solved. At the end of this volume, an assignment for
Self Assessment is provided.

This book is prepared according to JEE Advanced syllabus and latest Examination pattern and apart from
synopsis have seven types of solved problems –

1. Objective Problems with one or more correct Answers

2. Subjective Problems
3. Assignment Objective
4. Assertion & Reasons
5. Comprehensions
6. Integer Matching
7. Matrix Match
Most of the subjective problems are rephrased as integer matching or objective problems. The easy and
routine steps are omitted to provide short and crisp solutions. The solved questions include questions
from IIT-JEE/JEE-Advanced and AIEEE/JEE-Main.

I have tried my best to provide you an error free book, but if you feel that there is some typographic error,
please send a mail to me at bandana@r2.lc I will be pleased to send you the clarification.

All suggestions for improvement of the book from the teachers as well as students are most welcome at
same E-Mail address.

I wish you the Best for your performance.
