Product Description
Students and research workers in mathematics, physics, engineering and other sciences will find this compilation of more than 2000 mathematical formulas and tables invaluable. They will see quickly why half a million copies were sold of the first edition! All the information included is practical -- rarely used results are excluded. Topics range from elementary to advanced-from algebra, trigonometry and calculus to vector analysis, Bessel functions, Legendre polynomials and elliptic integrals. Great care has been taken to present all results concisely and clearly. Excellent to keep as a handy reference!

 Inexpensive reference! September 6, 2000

As an undergraduate physics major, it is necessary to have some sort of mathematical handbook containing tables of integrals, trig identities, differentiation rules, vector identities, etc. As such, I cannot give this book higher praise! While does not contain as many features as the CRC Handbook of Tables and Formulae, or many of the other big famous hardcovers, it makes up for this in many ways. It is compact, lightweight and fits in most bookbags. It contains the tables and rules which will be most used in undergraduate homework problems. Most importantly, it is affordable on a student budget! I carry this with me to study groups and tutoring sessions.

Perhaps the single greatest mathematical handbook in the history of mankind. An achievement far beyond mere mortals. Infinitely useful, and orderly.
Useful, convinient, and cheap March 3, 2005

I bought this book when I started studying toward a B.Sc for a price a student can easily pay, and continue using it in work to this day.
Though some science students would require more extensive handbook than this, the majority will be satisfied by this volume - which is convinient to carry.
It contains almost everything I needed, from basics such as trig functions & tables, geometry, and the basics of derivatives & integrals that my memory refuses to cough up on 1st year exams, to advanced material that is convinient to have handy at later stages of study and work.
The only change I would make in this book is it's physical dimensions - half the page size at twice the page count would make it easier to use during exams and next to a computer due to limited table area.

If you're as big a fan of the Schaum's "Outline Series" as I am, and are a science/math student (or a working professional), you REALLY need to add this one to your library! Just as one should have a good one-volume encyclopedia (hint: The New Columbia Encyclopedia), and a good dictionary that doesn't require a fork-lift (hint: Oxford Encyclopedic English Dictionary). All those arcane, mind-emulsifying formulas and identities and equalities from geometry, trigonometry, calculus, probability & statistics that your professors blithely expected you to memorize (and which you just-as-blithely FORGOT when the semester ended!) are ALL collected here. About a half-inch thick (278pp, including an index!), and VERY comprehensive. More than just a compendium of formulas and tables, it offers many terrific explanations and illustrations. No more digging through your old textbooks (you DID keep them, didn't you? Yeah, right). Quick! What's the Euler-Maclaurin Summation formula? How do you determine the area of an ellipse? You DO remember those special indefinite integrals involving a(x^2)+ bx + c, don't you?
Part A: Formulas (230pp). Part B: Tables (38pp).
