 Best mathematical handbook I have seen February 11, 2009
Bibigon (Mountain View, CA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I first encountered Russian translation of this book on my father's bookshelf in late 80s. Since then, the book has been a great help going through university (Applied Mathematics) and facing real-world problems as an applied mathematician. My filed is signal processing and communication systems, but the book covers many topics from elementary trigonometry and geometiric series to non-linear ODE and PDE, probability and statistics. There is a separate chapter on numerical methods.
This was the first book I bought when came to the US in late 90s (used). I use the book weekly, if not daily, so it is too bad that Dover does not have a hardcover edition. I had to buy a used one hardcover.
If ordering used, make sure that you are ordering 1968 (2nd edition). There are also used 1st edition floating around, but it is slightly less complete, especially on random processes, tables of sums and series, as well as some numerical methods.
I do not mean that the book covers every mathematical technique existing to this day, but it is a solid summary of classic mathematics and key results.
Excellent and complete reference July 31, 2008

During 20 years of using the Handbook of Mathematics
(by I.N. Bronshtein, K.A. Semendyayev)I was looking for an English written counterpart in this matter and sure enough I found it in this book. My point of view is personally based on engineering disciplines. With the help of Amazon's preview features it was a quick decision which book to buy. It has a well structured content, the concept is logically outlined, and discusses all chapters an engineer can ask for. That's probably why it has over one thousand pages, which makes it more a mathematical lexicon. The date of the publication might seem to be outdated, yet it proves that mathematic has become an almost static discipline engineers and scientists can rely on.
 Abundance of theorems and math...basic explanations only... January 22, 2008

This book is filled with formula's and theorems. However, one must have a basic understanding of all the formulas and theorems in order to understand most of them. If you love math and enjoy seeing how formulas and theorems are worked out this is an excellent book. Even though it is extremely thick. I had hoped they would explain in much more detail the order of operations. Other than that, it is a well put together reference book.

I have looked into a lot of mathematical handbooks but most are just junk. This one is the best available. The only one that is comparable to this is the one by Abramowitz and Stegun. If you need an applied mathematics handbook, go for this one.
 Rather old fashioned, but never-the-less useful June 8, 2007

This Handbook has quite a lot of more formal math in it.
Rade and Westergren's modern Handbook is more useful for finding the engineering equations you need, without all the formal stuff.
I find both useful in different ways.
