Product Description
This guide book to mathematics contains in handbook form the fundamental working knowledge of mathematics which is needed as an everyday guide for working scientists and engineers, as well as for students. Easy to understand, and convenient to use, this guide book gives concisely the information necessary to evaluate most problems which occur in concrete applications. In the newer editions emphasis was laid on those fields of mathematics that became more important for the formulation and modeling of technical and natural processes, namely Numerical Mathematics, Probability Theory and Statistics, as well as Information Processing. For the 5th edition, the chapters “Computer Algebra Systems” and “Dynamical Systems and Chaos” were fundamentally revised, updated and expanded. In the chapter “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics” a section on “Finite Fields and Shift Registers” was added.

This book is exactly what the title says it is; a handbook of mathematical techniques and formulas for scientists and engineers. It is more a handbook than a book on mathematics and assumes a prior knowledge on the subjects covered. Readers of this english version of the Bronshtein should take note that it is a "raw" translation of the german version and so some discussion may not do justice to the theory. This in no way takes away from the fact it is an exceptional book and you'd be hard pressed to find any other book with more mathematical content.

The original title of this book was "The Mathematical Handbook for Engineers and Technical Colleges' Students". This reflects the essence of what it is about: well rounded Math coverage for those who did not earn Ph.D. in Math yet.
For each of the topics covered the book gives you not only theoretical explanations, but plenty of examples as well. This feature allows anyone to get good understanding of the specific subject, and in most cases this knowledge is more than adequate for the problem solving.
The countless editions of this gemstone had been used by the generations of Russian students and engineers since, I believe 1940s. In my family alone it was the most used reference book for more than 50 years.

For me it was a remarkable fact, how few of the people in western countries have heard about this handbook. In the east this is probably the most popular mathematical handbook ever. I dont know any eastern european scientist in a field of mathematics, engineering and physics who don't have it. The main reason is it's extensivity and usefulness. In Croatian print it has about 1000 pages in very small format covering all possible parts of applied mathematics up to special functions/markov chains/complex integration/vector algebra. It's "allways in backpack book" and my hot recomandation to any technical scientist.

I have been using it during my studies and never regrettec the price. It has some mistakes (I got the 2nd edition) but apart from that it is just excellent.
