TIME has become a very important factor in todays education system in India. Students get a very scarce amount of time to even go through the various textbooks available and required for writing their examination in full confidence. We have tried to compile all the required information in one single text and in a concise manner so that the student can be confident to write his/her theory examination and viva-voce. This text has a number of tables which would help further revisions and easy learning. It has numerous diagrams that are all handdrawn so that the student can get a better understanding of the subject and can easily replicate it in his/her examination for better presentation. The coloured pictures even further enhance the understanding of the subject. For enthusiastic students we have added a list of reference at the end of each chapter as due to the concise format of the book, we have not included every minute details which are of less importance for undergraduate exam going students
