"The Templer Legacy" by Steve Perry. In the same genre of Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code", but not nearly as fast-paced though......

Thanks, bro. Good timing aswell, because my instructor told me to book my test next week.

Now reading "Differential Equations: with boundary value problems"...damn it's so exciting.

The chapter on Green's theorem id the most exciting.

Umm...except the chapter doesn't exist.

I think green's theorem is in the book for vector calculus. Zunaid uncle eishob poreche onek din hoye geche so it could have been an honest slip up.

Lets give the wise man the benefit of the doubt.

Are you majoring in Maths? lol...good to see a fellow member with similar major.

Haha. No Economics. Maths is my favourite subject so I ended up taking a lot of maths in university to make life a bit easier for me.

I was talking about the second volume. The one on Integral equations.

I know of only one Green's theorem. It gives the relationship between a line integral around a simple curve C and a double integral over the plane region D bounded by C.
This one is a part of vector calculus. I could given a mathematical notation except that I dont know how to type some of those characters. Either apni bhule gesen which section Green's theorem is in or you have studied much more about this topic than I have. (either of which is a strong probability)

I guess Zunaid bhai was talking about the fourier integral representation of the Green's functions.I have learnt these stuffs long time ago(when I was a 2nd year EEE student).I need to reinvigorate my mind.

**Zunaid** · #65 May 20, 2007, 05:55 PM

Actually the former - while part of Vector Calculaus - Green;'s Theorem is often taught under the purview of Integral/Differential solutions for applied engineering problems (I am an EEE undergrad). Hence you have Stoke's Theorem, Green's function, Cauchy-Riemann equations all in one big tome. We also did Vector Calculus where we revisited the same notions in a different way from first principles.

And yes, Layperson is also right. It has been over a layperson year since I last looked at them.

The correct answer to this thread would be - I am reading your post at the moment.

So you studied those when you were doing your EEE undergrad. Does that mean a "layperson year" stands for a long long time ago ?

Depends on how old you are. You seem to be still green 's function behind your ears.

Good to see a lot of readers in the forum. I am reading a technical book and trying to crack the adminsitrative english inside.

Just finished Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Not bad.... lots of common elements with Kiterunner. BTW I hated the over-drama-hindi-cinema type climax in Kiterunner. The new one is more mature.

If you are going to read a biography of Muhammad (pease be upon him) you might as well read the most authentic and earliest. That was by Ibn Issaq and called 'sirat' rasul allah'. There is a very good translation of it available by guillaume. The direct amazon link is -
http://www.amazon.com/Life-Muhammad-.../dp/019636034X

It would be fair to say that almost all other biographies appear to be based on this very first biography of the prophet..
