Schaum's Outline of Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists (Schaum's Outline Series)

Mathematics is a vital tool for engineers but it is a language and most instinctive engineers are not linguists so having the syntax and semantics presented in a succinct and unambiguous way makes this an ideal undergraduate maths book for engineers.

Excellent reference book , shames about the paper it is made from

Despite being some 45 years old this wide-ranging book remains an indispensable part in my view of any science or engineering student's bookshelf as a complement to any mathematical methods textbook one's lecturer has recommended.Not only that it is phenomenally good value for money , even compared to more detailed single topic Schaum outlines such as "vector analysis".

My tutor recommended this book to me (for OU MSc maths course, Complex analysis) and it is just what I need.Loads of worked examples and exercises, which complement the course notes very well.Also, the pages are off-white and much easier to read than the very white pages of the set text, so excelent for people like myself with sight problems.Great value for money.

Embarking on an MSc program late in life, my maths skills were somewhat rusty. The engineering part of my course requires Fourier Transforms, Laplace transforms and matrix manipulation. Although most of the work is done by computers, it is important to understand the basics and this book certainly helps with that.

this book is extremely useful and i really like the paper. the solved problems are very helpful although i must worn whoever is not used to this publisher these are in black and white, very dense with minimal diagrams, explanations are very technical (more concise) but the content is there and very helpful.

As is usual with the Schaum series there are myriad worked examples and unworked examples for the student to try Answers are supplied.The theory is clearly written and comprehensibele.Well recommended.
