Foreword
I take immense pleasure in writing the foreword for this very well-written book on “Reliability and Safety Engineering” that connects the bridge between the quintessential first principles of reliability with subsequent theoretical development of conceptual frameworks, and their relevance to practical realization of complex engineering systems. Interspersed with ample demonstrative examples and practical case studies, this is a self-contained exposition, written in a commendably lucid style.
