Trishna's The IIT - Foundation Series for 8th,
9th and 10th
Classes
The present day students aspire to get into pre-eminent educational institutes to
pursue the best courses - be it in engineering, medicine, arts or sciences - to
enable them to prepare for careers at a global level. It is crucial therefore, that
they emerge triumphant in examinations that gain them entry into such courses. With
most of the exams designed to challenge the innate talent and ingenuity of students,
it is only natural that they find these tests demanding and find themselves competing
with the country's best minds for those few coveted seats.
Students need to have a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts and exceptional
problem-solving skills in order to pass out with flying colours in these tests.
There has been a long felt need for quality study material which is well-researched
and structured that can help students gain that much-needed fundamental understanding
in the subjects Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
And now, there is help at hand in the form of Trishna's IIT - Foundation Series –
A collection of 9 books for classes 8, 9 and 10 that help the students master the
concepts of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
The "IIT - Foundation Series" books are designed to provide students with a comprehensive
understanding of the fundamental concepts, teach them the application of these concepts
and help them hone their problem-solving skills.
The objective of the IIT - Foundation Series of books is to ensure that students are
able to delve beyond the restrictions of their regular school syllabi and get a
fundamental understanding of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The books are designed
to kindle the students’ interest in these subjects and encourage them to ask questions
that lead to a firm grip on the principles governing each concept.
Irrespective of the field of study that the student may to choose to take up later,
it is imperative that he or she develops a sound understanding of Mathematics and
Science, since it forms the basis for most modern-day activities. Lack of a firm
background in these subjects may not only limit the capacity of the student to solve
complex problems but also lessen his or her chances to make it into top-notch institutes
that provide quality education.
The book is intended to serve as the backbone of the student's preparation for a
range of competitive exams, going beyond the realms of the usual school curriculum
to provide the extra edge so essential in tackling a typical question paper.
Builds skills that will help students succeed in school and various competitive
examinations.
The methodology is aimed at helping students thoroughly understand the
concepts in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
Helps develop a logical approach to Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry,
thereby enabling more effective learning.
Lays stress on questions asked by board/school examinations as well as
application of concepts.
The concepts are explained in a well structured and lucid manner, using
simple language. This aids learning.
A large number of examples have been included to help reinforce the concepts
involved.
Different levels of practice exercises have been provided which help
students develop the necessary application and problem-solving skills.
The exercises have been designed keeping in mind the various board/school
examinations and competitive examinations, such as the NTSE, NLSTSE, Science Olympiad
and Cyber Olympiad.
The book will not only help the students in better understanding of what
is taught in regular school classes (and hence enable them to do well in board examinations)
but will also help in developing the acumen, resulting in a distinctive edge over
their peers.
The IIT - Foundation Series is available
in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Each chapter in the book is divided into
three parts, namely, theory, test your concepts and concept application.
Theory:
The theory part deals with the various
concepts in Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics, which is a part of the syllabus prescribed
by major boards for Class X. The concepts are explain in a lucid manner, and diagrams
have been provided, wherever necessary, to illustrate these concepts.
Test your Concepts:
This exercise is provided at the
end of the theory section of each chapter. These exercises are a collection of very
short answer, short answer and essay type of descriptive questions. It is intended
to provide students with model questions that they may face in the board examination.
Students are expected to prepare
for these questions before they attempt any examination based on that particular
chapter. Towards the end of the book, the students will find key points for selected
questions of the exercise. These key points provide students with an idea of the
points that should be a part of an answer for such a question.
Concept Application:
This is a collection of exercises
in three different classes: Class 8, Class 9 and Class 10.
Class 8 consists of basic objective
questions. These questions test the basic knowledge of students and enable them
to gauge their understanding of concepts when they start solving this exercise.
The key for this exercise is provided at the end of the respective chapter.
Classes 9 and 10 consist
of descriptive questions of a higher level of difficulty. These questions help students
to apply the concepts that they have
learnt. Key points for selected questions of these exercises have been provided
at the end of each chapter in order to help students solve these questions.
These books are available
for 8th, 9th and 10th classes separately for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
