Numerical Solution Skills

By:
Engineer Shair Hassan
Assistant Director (QESCO)

Session 2016

Aim of Lecture????
In almost all COMPETITIVE EXAMS AND
ENTRY TESTS calculators are not
allowed in the Examination Hall for
calculations.

So the need arises to learn the skills, that students can solve the calculations
without using calculator.
In today's lecture you will learn some basic rules about solving numerical
without using calculator.
