 Not bad June 9, 2010
Nicholas S. Coleman (Drexel Univ., Phila, PA USA)
Very difficult problems, and somewhat difficult to follow at times, but what can you expect from mathematics of this level? Overall, the book was decent, but that could have done more to make it easier to read and use, like including practical examples, which the book lacks almost entirely.
 Still in print,still a great reference book March 25, 2010
I'm looking at my poor, mistreated old 4th Edition as I type. What memories it stirs! What despair! What dorm-room walls it was hurled against, on the eves of so many exams, and how I abused and cursed it for being a REFERENCE BOOK and not an INTRODUCTORY CALCULUS TEXTBOOK as my professors fantasized it to be when they required us to buy it! Thank you, faithful friend. We both endured, you and I. At least I didn't fail calculus, and you still have a cover and are legible. Yes, we endured.
 Evergeen, after all these years March 4, 2010

I used Kreyszig's Advanced Engineering Mathematics back in the 70s when I was doing EE in India. Loved it then - of course there were no computers and slide rules were our trusted friends - I had a chance to peruse through this edition at a library recently. I loved it as much, not just because it is still the best book both to learn as well as as a reference, but also because it has been thoroughly modernized. Armed with my copy of Mathematica I randomly worked through some of the problems and got the same thrills as I had some 35+ years ago. Hats off to you, Prof Kreyszig!

a little pricey, but i had to have it for a class. not the easiest book to follow
An excellent text October 29, 2009
Z Bishop (UK)
This really is an excellent text that covers all of engineering mathematics and much, much more. It is a superb reference that will in come useful again and again for anyone working at the analytical end of engineering related fields. It is also entirely appropriate for learning material for the first time. There are very many relevant examples and problems to work through and each concept is carefully discussed and placed in context.
Surprisingly, there are number of highly critical reviews about it and I can only conclude these are from people who did not understand what they were buying. The "Advanced" is in the title for a reason. You are expected to have a good knowledge of maths and this should include all basic calculus, so buy it for what it is - an advanced text. Do not expect a coverage of fundamental topics, there are many other good books which cover these.
