The Best

I have looked into a lot of mathematical handbooks but most are just junk. This one is the best available. The only one that is comparable to this is the one by Abramowitz and Stegun. If you need an applied mathematics handbook, go for this one.

The worlds best mathematical handbook

I have been using Korn and Korn for over 20 years, and have gone through two hardback editions, before buying the paperback one for my son who is studying electrical engineering. I would not have bought him anything else, because Korn^2 is the MOST complete mathematical reference book I have ever seen. It is infinitely more useable than Bronshtein and Semendyayev, and if you want to have one reference book Korn^2 should be your choice.

Great Mathematical Reference

Hats off to Dover: you simply will not find a better mathematical reference with the depth and breath of topics addressed for the money. While there may be more prestegious mathematical reference books (Von Nostrand, CRC) but expect to pay at least $100 or more for them.

an engineer says: thanks korn and korn

over a period of thirty-plus years, i've benefited countless times from this dizzyingly broad and accurate handbook. it must be seen in that light: handbook. but, as such, there is simply no competition, at least for the engineer doing mathematical evaluations or predicting performance. i myself even find it enjoyable to just read in it. also to remember: it is not a compendium of computer-based techniques; indeed, it is a handbook of actual mathematics. i appreciate this small forum as an opportunity to say: Thanks, K & K.

Mathematical Handbook for Scientists and Engineers (Paperbk)

I have both the "hardcover" and "paperback" copies of this book. I feel that this is the "BEST" handbook of mathematics I have reviewed. It is both through and concise. The topical structure and layout of the book is excellent! The paperback is a convenient size, it fits easily within a briefcase. I most strongly recommend this book to any engineer, mathematician, physicist, etc.
