Book Description | Pocket book of integrals and mathematical formulas, a revision of a very successful pocket book, provides a handy desk-top reference for engineers and scientists seeking essential formulas, concepts, and definitions. Topics range from pre-calculus to vector analysis and from fourier transforms to statistics. This third edition contains: a new chapter on business and financial mathematics - providing information on progressions, especially geometric progressions, which is the basis for many formulas related to annuities, growth of funds, and interest payments additional topics in statistics - including sample size calculations for testing differences and proportions featuring numerical tables of probability distributions, the book also includes discussions on formula listings and differential equations fourier series laplace and z-transforms vector analysis orthogonal polynomials many other handbooks go too far in their attempts, essentially mimicking larger comprehensive texts they try to summarize. The result is a reference less detailed than the full texts and too big to be conveniently portable. Most scientists do not carry them. Through a careful selection of topics and detail, pocket book of integrals and mathematical formulas truly meets the needs of engineers and scientists - a convenient, usable supplementary text providing worked examples where most necessary. Its comprehensive information and convenient arrangement of tables makes it an essential and easy to use reference. |
