This is R.D. Sharma's Applied Mathematics for Class XII, published by Dhanpat Rai Publications, Edition 2026-27. It is an English medium (Roman script) book — the complete theory, solved examples, exercises and answers are in English, and there is no Hindi content in it. It is prepared for the CBSE Class 12 Applied Mathematics course (Code 241), following the latest CBSE syllabus.
Applied Mathematics is a distinct subject from Mathematics (Code 041), and the difference matters when choosing a book. It is designed for students heading into commerce, economics, management and the social sciences rather than engineering, and its content reflects that: the calculus is lighter, and in its place sit financial mathematics, index numbers and time based data, and inferential statistics. A student taking Applied Mathematics who studies from a standard Class 12 mathematics book will find whole units missing.
The book covers the prescribed course: numbers, quantification and numerical applications — modulo arithmetic, alligation, mixtures, boats and streams, pipes and cisterns, races and partnership; algebra including matrices and determinants; calculus — differentiation, applications, integration and differential equations at the level this course requires; probability distributions — random variables, binomial and normal distributions; inferential statistics and t-test; index numbers and time based data — moving averages and time series; financial mathematics — perpetuity, sinking funds, EMI, annuities, depreciation, bonds and returns on investment; and linear programming.
R.D. Sharma's books are practice-led, and that suits this subject. The financial mathematics and index number units are almost entirely computational — EMI calculation, sinking fund working, moving averages — and become reliable only through volume. Each topic here carries solved examples worked in full followed by graded exercises with answers.
The book is used alongside the prescribed NCERT Applied Mathematics textbook, which remains the source the board sets its questions on.

यह पुस्तक धनपत राय पब्लिकेशन्स द्वारा प्रकाशित Applied Mathematics — कक्षा XII (कक्षा 12) है, लेखक आर.डी. शर्मा; संस्करण 2026-27। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है — इसमें हिन्दी भाषा का प्रयोग नहीं है। ध्यान रहे कि Applied Mathematics (कोड 241) सामान्य गणित (कोड 041) से भिन्न विषय है — यह वाणिज्य, अर्थशास्त्र एवं प्रबंधन की दिशा में जाने वाले विद्यार्थियों हेतु है, जिसमें कलन अपेक्षाकृत सीमित है तथा वित्तीय गणित, सूचकांक एवं काल-श्रेणी तथा प्रसामान्य सांख्यिकी सम्मिलित हैं। इसमें संख्याएँ एवं संख्यात्मक अनुप्रयोग (मॉड्यूलो अंकगणित, मिश्रण, नाव एवं धारा, पाइप एवं टंकी, दौड़ एवं साझेदारी), आव्यूह एवं सारणिक, अवकलन-समाकलन एवं अवकल समीकरण, प्रायिकता बंटन (द्विपद एवं प्रसामान्य बंटन), निगमनात्मक सांख्यिकी एवं t-परीक्षण, सूचकांक एवं काल-आधारित आँकड़े (चल माध्य), वित्तीय गणित (शाश्वतिकी, ऋणशोधन निधि, EMI, वार्षिकी, मूल्यह्रास एवं बॉन्ड) तथा रैखिक प्रोग्रामन सम्मिलित हैं। वित्तीय गणित एवं सूचकांक की इकाइयाँ पूर्णतः गणनात्मक हैं और पर्याप्त अभ्यास से ही सधती हैं — प्रत्येक विषय में पूर्ण हल सहित उदाहरण एवं उत्तर सहित क्रमबद्ध प्रश्नावलियाँ दी गई हैं।
