 the key is to use it as a reference text October 22, 2000

I am currently using this massive book as it is the required text for my Engineering Math I course (MS Mech Eng). I heartily agree with others who claim to find this book is not thorough enough in the subjects it covers. BUT, out of curiosity I have delved into the book and studied the chapters covering material I am familiar with I saw in previous courses (Diff Equations, 4 Calculus courses, Control Systems, Linear Systems, Numerical Methods) and I have to say... it is an ALL encompassing book, and the tremendous amount of material in it has is a credit to itself. Do not criticize this book because you failed in understanding a subject when using it, I myself am currenly a victim of this situation. Go find a book which treats only the topic (Laplace, Fourier, Linear Algebra, etc.) you're covering now, study it, and return it. Keep Kreyszig's as a handy reference. Mathematics is an extensive science, this "handbook" for us beginners is one of the best there is. Question: Did any of you Mechanical Engineers use MARKS' Handbook for your Fluid Mechanics course, or Shigley's Machine Design Handbook for learning how to design gears?
Comprehensive study reference March 21, 2007

This is a comprehensive compendium on engineering mathematics which I found fascinating and enjoyable to read. This is not a book for the novice but for those with a strong background in high school Mathematics. I used an earlier edition of this book as a graduate student and it is still among the texts I use as a reference book. Among the extensive topics covered include linear algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations, Fourier series, differential forms, graph theory, oscillation matrices, quantum symmetries, complex variables, probability and statistics, vector calculus, numerical and computer methods.
The book is a useful, helpful and handy reference for the engineering mathematics and applied mathematics student. The book is well written and the material is well organised with similar related concepts grouped together allowing a fluidity that facilitates its use. The author also presents various problems which when worked out will ensure a complete grasp of the subject.
My overall impression is this: it's a great book December 11, 2007

It's exactly what most 4 and 5 star reviews say it is. The only real issue I have that no other review (not even a 1, 2, or 3 star review) mentions is this. The book doesn't provide notes for conceptual pitfalls that can and will arise when reading it. A good example is the word "vector." There are actually 2 types of vectors mentioned: one from the linear algebra camp, the other from the vector calculus school of thought. These two types of vectors are actually quite different. A vector calculus vector almost always refers back to a 2 or 3 dimensional description of the motion or transmission of mass, energy, waves, and particles in a vertical/horizontal plane or in three-dimensional space; whereas a linear algebra vector more-often-than-not represents an arbitrary set of ordered numbers in a 1XN or NX1 matrix that is simply meaningless as a physical vector.
A reference manual for advanced engineering mathematics October 3, 2005

This book is an all-encompassing book dealing with all (I am not joking) topics of advanced engineering mathematics required by practicing engineers and students. This is not meant to be used as an introductory text during a math course but as a reference manual for practical applications once you go beyond your math course. If you are looking for a comprehensive math book with consistent notation and style of writing, look no further-get this book.
Still great! August 22, 2005

I used this book for my Electrical Engineering curriculum way back in 1977-1981, and I remember the pleasure I had learning Math from it. In some cases I hardly took notes in the class, but relied almost completely on the book to learn the subject. Well, it's almost 30 years later, and I've decided to re-learn the Math I loved so much but lost over the years. What a surprise to find Kreyszig's book is still around. I believe the reason for its longevity is just that it presents the complcated Math very effectively. When studying a particular subject, it was sometimes necessary for me to go back and re-read and re-read (the Math covered is not easy!), but the concept was there waiting for me to find it. I believe this book is an excellent tool for grasping some very complicates subjects.
