"Handbook of Mathematics" contains the fundamental working knowledge of mathematics which is needed as an everyday guide for both students and professionals in the areas of physics, mathematics, and engineering. Covering material from the introductory level through to more advanced applications, this classic handbook also presents tables of many important functions. 95 illus. 990 pp. Pub: 5/97.
What to say about this book? It's not dubbed the "Mathematical Bible" without a reason. It contains virtually everything one needs to know about math to be able to apply the knowledge in solving problems. I personally adore my Bronstein, as I fondly call it. It gave me information and inspiration on numerous written exams, and has been my constant companion on classes and at home. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's necessary for everyone who aspires to be a mathematician, physicist or engineer.
This is an excellent reference book for engineers (or anyone who has to delve into mathematics once in a while), clearly written and very nicely indexed and organized (so finding what you need is easy). I had a copy with me for the most part of 40 years and it has served me quite well.
