Group II subjects
 

Salam !! Kindly suggest me best and comprehensive books for each Applied Maths nd statistics... 1 or 2 books to cover all contents....!

Hello.

1) Statistics
Sher Muhammad’s book (Vol1 and Vol 2 both) for statistics is enough. Solve past exams of at least 5 years making notes for theoretical portion.

2) Applied Maths
No single book covers the whole syllabus as you might have noticed that the syllabus is quite vast.
For mechanics portion Q. K. Ghouri’s book is enough.
For other topics you can consult any book you like.
I recommend using Zill’s book for ODEs.
As for any other mathematical exam, practice is key. I also suggest to be comfortable with integration and differentiation techniques before starting applied maths prep.

The full name of the books I have mentioned can be found in the suggested books sections of CSS syllabus for these subjects.

Good luck.

Numerical Analysis
 

thanks!!
For NA I personally recommend book of NA by Das nd Vijay Kumari ~ Pearson publishers....

Pure
 

Kindly recommend book for pure mathematics... Which covers whole topics

Obaid books to cover accounting in the meantime... explicitly financial accounting and Auditing ??

Financial Accounting
I used CA books for this portion in my first attempt.
This time I used the book by Sohail Afzal which is what I would recommend you to do as well.

Cost accounting
Sohail Afzal’s book. Really good.

Auditing
I think I used the book by Saeed Nisar. Use any book, all are same. Just make notes.

Finance
Van Horne
Ross

Business
Some local author. Very basic concepts. Again, use any book to make notes.

Tax
Moazzam. Numerical questions are tricky often.

In addition to all these books, I used the book by JWT.

If you do not have any background in accounting, this subject is not recommended.

If you still want to go ahead, choose only if you have:
i) ample time e.g you are going for 2021 attempt
ii) some guidance/teacher

Practice is key. Good luck.

Could you further elaborate ; Chapters to cover from sohail afzal B Com part 1 book for financial acc , Also for audit can we rely solely on jwt book...

Follow past exams 2016-2019.
Questions have been asked on journal entries, ratios and final accounts. Do these well. You may skip partnership. I skipped it.

Yes it is possible to rely on the jwt book for auditing. All the topics are covered. It also depends on your strategy. If you want to do 2 questions from Auditing then it’s probably a good idea to use one of the suggested readings in addition to jwt.

My own strategy for paper 2 was
i) selected topics from auditing which required only a basic understanding (1 Q)
ii) income tax only (1 Q)
iii) prepared finance and business thoroughly (2 Qs)

statistics by sher muhammad chuadhary
 

books by sher m. chaudhary are best for statistics but if [B]sir kafayt ullah[/B] gives time , somehow , he is best for statistics and mathematics .As recommended by many successful csp's and my personal experience along many other fellow friends he is best teacher.

Tables
 

Are tables provided in statistics paper or we have to take them with ourselves?
