The aim of the book is to give a smooth analytic continuation from calculus to complex analysis by way of plenty of practical examples and worked-out exercises. The scope ranges from applications in calculus to complex analysis in two different levels.If the reader is in a hurry, he can browse the quickest introduction to complex analysis at the beginning of Chapter 1, which explains the very basics of the theory in an extremely user-friendly way. Those who want to do self-study on complex analysis can concentrate on Chapter 1 in which the two mainstreams of the theory - the power series method due to Weierstrass and the integration method due to Cauchy - are presented in a very concrete way with rich examples. Readers who want to learn more about applied calculus can refer to Chapter 2, where numerous practical applications are provided. They will master the art of problem solving by following the step by step guidance given in the worked-out examples.This book helps the reader to acquire fundamental skills of understanding complex analysis and its applications. It also gives a smooth introduction to Fourier analysis as well as a quick prelude to thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, information theory, and control theory. One of the main features of the book is that it presents different approaches to the same topic that aids the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.

This book (Vista II), is a sequel to Vistas of Special Functions (World Scientific, 2007), in which the authors made a unification of several formulas scattered around the relevant literature under the guiding principle of viewing them as manifestations of the functional equations of associated zeta-functions. In Vista II, which maintains the spirit of the theory of special functions through zeta-functions, the authors base their theory on a theorem which gives some arithmetical Fourier series as intermediate modular relations - avatars of the functional equations. Vista II gives an organic and elucidating presentation of the situations where special functions can be effectively used. Vista II will provide the reader ample opportunity to find suitable formulas and the means to apply them to practical problems for actual research. It can even be used during tutorials for paper writing.

Folklore, in fact, is the 'Language of Root' and the 'Song of Soil', that is originated in the ceop fields and meadows, in the trees and creepers and in the minds of human beings. This unknown, unlighted life culture and mind culture is mostly agriculture based. The tremendous riches of folk knowledge on agriculture is unrevealed under the cover of scientific wisdom. The culture allied to procurement of food is 'Farmlore'. It is the base, and different super structures are created on it. Language, religion, superstition, ritual, dress, art, song, dance, festivals, etc are originated based on ground production. There is a close-set linkage between knowledge and farmlore. both farmlore and indigenous knowledge are the traditional-bound resources of the folk people, so these are seen to be integrated in an unique fashion. Dr. Monanjali Bandyopadhyay and Dr. Kalyan Chakraborti, well known couple in the field of Folklore research, had traveled in the riches of farmlore pertaining to date-sugar-palm of Bengal through participatory rural folk appraisal. This treatise is the joint harvest of them through their direct and integrated field investigation among the Seuli-folk of Bengal.

Dr. Kalyan Chakraborti is an young and energetic personality in the domain of Horticulture and has been working on mango for long fifteen years with full devotion and seriousness. This particular venture has instigated in him the specific potentiality for genuine comprehension in grasping the bedrock of orchard diversity in Gangetic West Bengal.He has conducted survey on seedling germplasms, folk varieties, clonal variations, commercial varieties and released hybrids in mango and evaluated them based on botanical and horticultural parameters withal.He even observed the vascular plants-association in mango agro-ecosystems closely.In his exalted attempts to focus the discernible light of investigation into the mango diversities of Gangetic West Bengal, he has delved deep into the orchardist-folk through his direct and integrated field investigation by participatory rural folk appraisal.
