Good reference book for school homeworks..

From High School to college I Found this book very useful as a quick reference guide for any subject, you can find any formula or any constant that you need while doing a homework, youll find it quickly and you wont lose time consulting any other book.As other revieweres said it has some erros, but theyre minimal, and the book covers a wide selecetion of engineering topics.Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and mathematics.I give it four stars only for the minimal erros, but consider it a good and handy book for any quick reference, specially if you know concepts and only need to look for exact info.

An excellent reference source for general science

Although there are some errors, this is the best general reference source I have encountered. Considering its breath of information, its accesibility, and its cost, this is an excellent reference for high schools and high school and college students. The organization of the book invites people to look up a specific piece of information. The book includes sections on constants, units, biology, chemistry, geology, physics and mathematics. The book includes obscure as well as often used information. This would be an excellent book to give to a person who would need or be interested in some of the tools of science.
