Handbook of Mathematical Tables and Formulas

by Richard Stevens Burington

This book is a comprehensive mathematics reference guide that provides detailed explanations and formulas for various subdivisions in mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, and vector analysis. The author's meticulous organization of the material into logical sections and concise tables makes this book accessible and useful for students, researchers, and professionals alike. The book begins with fundamental laws, operations, and concepts in algebra, followed by sections on geometry and trigonometry that present essential principles and theorems. The author then delves into analytic geometry, explaining conic sections and discussing topics like the sine wave, logarithmic curve, and probability curve. The latter half of the book delves deeply into differential and integral calculus, presenting definitions, formulas, and theorems for derivatives and integrals. The book concludes with a concise discussion of vector analysis that covers important concepts like the gradient, divergence, and curl. With its rigorous approach, this book provides a solid foundation in mathematics for students, and it offers a valuable reference source for researchers and professionals who need a refresher on mathematical principles. Its comprehensive coverage of essential topics in mathematics makes it a valuable addition to any academic or professional library.
