From the Back Cover

Erwin Kreyszig’s Advanced Engineering Mathematics, 9th Edition introduces engineers and computer scientists to advanced math topics as they relate to practical problems.

In today’s world of increasingly complex engineering problems, powerful new mathematical and computational methods, and enormous computer capacities, you can get overwhelmed by little things you will only occasionally use. Instead, you need to learn how to think mathematically and gain a firm grasp of the interrelationship among theory, computing, and experiment. That’s why Kreyszig’s text helps you develop a solid understanding of the basic principles and methods of advanced engineering mathematics in all three phases of problem solving: Modeling, Solving, and Interpreting. This best-selling text is known for its comprehensive coverage, careful and correct mathematics, outstanding exercises, and self-contained chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best reference to have on your desk., November 12, 2006

This review is from: Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Hardcover)

This is a NOT a text book for learning engineering mathematics. Its just way too dry. However, it is the single best reference to have next to you while you are working as a scientist, engineer or (as I have found recently) economist. After you leave University, you aren't going to remember all the various expansions, techniques and log rules. Once you are working, you will have this book on your book shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book with deep insight in Math for UG students..., April 30, 2006

This review is from: Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Hardcover)

The first time I came across this book was when I was appointed Teaching Assistant for a course called "Biomathematics" at IIT. At first, I was bit scared looking at the size of this book. As days progressed, I realized the very deep insight it gives for the UG engg students. The practical illustrations complementing the concepts are the highlights of this book.

The 4 star rating is because this book starts with very advanced topics and is not much suitable for self-study. Otherwise, it is a great Math book to have. Highly recommended for any UG/PG student who wants to learn the intricacies of engineering mathematics.

This review is from: Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Hardcover)

This is one of the premiere works in engineering mathematics. Not designed to be a formal text in mathematics, the target audience is the engineering student, as the title implies. The text is very well written and there are a variety of additional solution manuals available. This is a very highly recommended text for the engineering student.
