Title: Handbook of Mathematics and Computational Science by Horst Stocker, John W. Harris ISBN: 0-387-94746-9 Publisher: Springer Verlag Pub. Date: 17 July, 1998 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $39.95 |

Summary: Useful but limited and *no bibliographies*!
Comment: This handbook covers a range of undergraduate applied mathematics. Besides standard topics: geometry, indefinite and definite integrals, linear algebra, complex variables, etc.; it also covers some discrete math: Boolean algebra as applied to digital circuit design, graphs, etc.; and a bit of programming (including written-out programs implementing some algorithms). But its coverage is just too idiosyncratic to rely on. Its treatment of digital logic is surprisingly long, and its treatment of matrices surprisingly short. Why does it mention the rather specialized topics of fuzzy logic and neural networks? Why doesn't it mention wavelets? Why doesn't it include any material and algorithms on strings (regular expression matching, for example)?
But the worst feature of this book is that it doesn't provide bibliographies for the topic it covers. If you need more detailed treatment of matrices or graphs, where should you go for a fuller treatment? It doesn't help at all.

Summary: The Swiss Army Knife of math books
Comment: The best way I can describe this book is that it is as close to a swiss army knife you are going to find in a mathematics book. It has everything from high school math to math for advanced undergraduates and possibly early graduate school in engineering, physical sciences, economics, and mathematics. It also has a few helpful sections on programming in Fortran, C, Pascal, and C++ (although I wouldn't rely on this book to learn those languages). It is a great reference book for scientists and engineers.
