There is a textbook on Finite Element Methods (the title
is just that, I think), authoured by a Dr. Reddy (I can't
recall his complete name), that starts with a telugu quote
in the Preface. When I first saw this book with my Civil/
Mechanical friends in Kanpur, I thought wow, this is
remarkable. Later, I got introduced to OR, and came across
Dr. Murthy garu's books, and found telugu poems quoted
more than once.
Do TELUSAers in other fields know of textbooks/treatises
in non-literary areas that contain telugu quotes? I know
of atleast one PhD thesis in Comp. engg. from Univ of
Calif. that starts with a Vemana padyam... (mine, of course;-))

ps: Does anybody recall the book by Dr. Reddy and the poem
therein?
