Universities Press focusses on the publication of books in Science, Technology and

Medicine.

Several of our books have been co-published for the international market by CRC Press
and Springer Verlag. In addition to original publishing, we publish books selectively
under license from reputed overseas publishers. Some of our overseas associates include:

• Silicon Press
• American Mathematical Society
• Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

Our books are distributed exclusively by Orient Blackswan Private Limited.
