scope:

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.
