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 paymentsAdditional topics in statistics - including sample size calculations for testing differences and proportionsFeaturing numerical tables of probability distributions, the book also includesDiscussions on formula listings and differential equationsFourier seriesLaplace and z-transformsVector analysisOrthogonal polynomialsMany 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.
