Guide for any Engineering Student.
This handbook is a must have for any junior level or higher engineering major or any major that deals with advanced mathematics. It contains detailed and easy to understand charts and tables ranging from College Algebra and Trigonometry to Advanced Calculus and Differential Equations. It is also a must have reference book to anyone needing to access to advanced mathematics formulas.
Excellent Text for Undergrads or Grads
This book has everything in it as far as formulas. If you are looking for examples, this is not the book for you. I had some difficulty remembering Integration by Parts for my current Grad class. This book helped out. It also helps out for all those pesty integrals and derivatives as well. I've been using this book for 2 months in my classes. Although I don't always use it, I never leave home without it.
Also covers Taylor and Fourier Series, Laplace Transforms, Statistics, and other stuff as an engineer I've never had to learn and never plan to. ;)
Mathematical Handbook of Formulas and Tables
A very useful book that gathers all the mathmatical formals 'as the title states. As an Engineering Student it is very helpful to have everything in one text instead of getting your old books and digging through them to find them.
