Engineering Mathematics Handbook

Book excerpt: Designed to provide engineers with quick-access mathematical formulas for their specialties, the new Fourth Edition includes 20% more information than the prior edition while retaining the Handbook's unique presentation of math fundamentals. The Handbook proceeds from algebra and geometry through such advanced topics as Laplace transforms and numerical methods and concludes with basic discussions of plane curves and space curves. It is organized logically to present each math topic as a complete conceptual and visual unit. The Handbook includes abundant examples of problems in advanced math whose solutions are depicted in step-by-step detail, as well as a new glossary of math terms.
