Every book have a definite content. And every book have a definite aim behind the content. The writers of the books want to express their way of thinking about that subject or topic. May this happen that your way of thinking of reading that book is different from though of writer. But if you wanted to understand the concept behind the sequence of chapters and what is the aim of a book then You have to read book according to sequence of chapters. This topic came in my mind when my teacher start teaching me with chapter number three. I am really confused that why not from the chapter 1st. But , Now I got the answer. Teacher wanted teach easy thing first. In mathematics, nothing is hard and nothing is easy but it is depend upon your concepts. In Mathematics, it is very important to follow the sequence of content at least one time because every chapter is connected with each other. It may possible that Book is divided in sections but trust me these sections also have some important connections and this way of reading books is justice with the writer of that book, justice with the aim of book. Here, I am taking my first example for explaining my thought more clearly. For this example I used the content of NCERT Mathematics book for the class 11th. The sequence given in this book is as follows:
1) Sets
2) Relations and functions
3) Trigonometric functions
4) Principle of Mathematical Induction
5) Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equation
6) Linear inequalities
7) Permutations ad combinations
8) Binomial Theorem
9) Sequence and series
10) Straight line
12) Introduction to three dimensional Geometry
13) Limits and Derivatives
14) Mathematical Reasoning
15)Statistics
16) Probability
Appendix:
Infinite series:
* Introduction
* Binomial theorem for any Index
* Infinite Geometric series
* Exponential series Logarithmic series
Mathematical Modeling:
* Introduction
* Preliminaries
* What is Mathematical Modeling
You can also see the photo of the content:
When I saw this content at this stage, I clearly saw that writer want develop a basic understanding of Mathematics and wanted that the student become familiar with Mathematics in higher educations and one more thing that the sequence of the chapters is essential because Sets are used in chapter Relations and functions and with this concepts students are ready to read a special type of function named trigonometric functions and similarly other chapter are also connected with each other . Even though Appendix is very interesting and relatable with my point of view.
Now I am taking a my second example of NCERT book of history for class 10th.The name of this book is India and Contemporary world II. sequence of chapters in this book is as follows:
1) The Rise of Nationalism in Europe
2) Nationalism in India
3) The making of a Global world
4) The age of Industrialization
5) Print culture and the modern world.
This book also have many purpose. One thing is to give a understanding that any incident happens in the world may also have an impact on India. Another concept is to study comparatively and many more concepts that this book wanted to teach us. Now it depend on us that what we thinking about that book while reading. What is our aim to study that book. And students who understand this then it become a bless for them and a teacher need to explain these concepts and teach students with this concepts and if teacher found a new concept related to that book then teacher need to explain that concept.
