Concise Handbook of Mathematics and Physics

By Alexander G. Alenitsyn and Alexander G Alenitsyn

Book Overview

Concise Handbook of Mathematics and Physics presents a unified and coherent treatment of all the major aspects of modern elementary physics and mathematics. This complete text/reference includes definitions of fundamental notations and physical and mathematical quantities, formulas that express the laws of physics, axioms and theorems of mathematics, and more. The information is organized logically (instead of alphabetically) for better comprehension and quick, convenient access. The book contains extensive cross-referencing between the mathematical and physical sections. reflecting the considerable overlap between these two areas of study and increasing the usefulness of this handbook. Fundamental concepts, theorems, and laws are demonstrated through numerous practical examples and tasks to help build problem-solving skills.

Nice source book for math and physics

This is a great book for wide variety of audiences -- students in high school to professionals (engineers and scientists) with many years of math training. If you are looking for rigorous derivations or theorem/proofs, this is not the book. But if you are looking for a handy source that you can go to everyday in your professional life, then this is the book. I commend the authors for designing an accessible book with cogent presentation and exceptional clarity.

Plethora

This text is a hard to find collection of formulas, theorems, symbols and laws that took me quite some time to find. If you like math and/or physics and want to know all you can, then this text is your best bet. It is laid out logically and coherently and culminates in a unified picture of two closely related fields of study. I highly recommend it to any scientific mind.
