Introduction
This book has been created specially to deal in detail with the most important,
common and confusing concepts and questions and to eliminate the common
errors committed by the various students. It, being so comprehensive, may be
used very profitably as a reference book by the students of both Pre
Engineering and Pre Medical for their Intermediate Exams and Entrance
Tests of various Colleges and Universities.
All chapters of Punjab Text Book have been discussed orderly in full detail
including all important points and topics. Since there is always a room for
improvement, advance knowledge and information, user demand and
aspirations, so this book will be revised and updated regularly.
After the feedback about this book, various books on Mathematics and
Chemistry are expected to be written by me. However, this book may prove to
be the first ring of this chain.
Above all, I thank Almighty Allah, Who gave me the opportunity and strength
to undertake this work. I pray that this effort may prove to be the stair case to
lead the students to the destination of success.
I shall ever wait for your suggestions and feedback.
