I recommend this mathematical reference above all others. I have used almost all the standard compilations of formulae and functions and find this one by far the most user friendly and complete.

The book is laid out in chapters corresponding to the major divisions of mathematics such as Algebra, Elementary Geometry, Differential Equations and so on. In each of these chapters is not only a listing of pertinent formulae and functions, but definitions of symbols, solving hints, illustrations and important theorems.

This book carried me through college and into my professional career. I used my first copy until it literally fell apart. My advice for anyone in a mathematical science is to get yourself a copy of this book, it will serve you long and well.

Anyone that uses real mathematics should have this book. It isn't a textbook, don't expect it to teach you anything. It's a reference. More math than most people will ever learn is tightly summarized and nicely organized in the first 60 pages.

Book contains all the math reference formulas an engineer would need involving Algebra, Trig, Geometry and Calculus. The only item lacking is Laplace references.

This is an excellent book for looking up the derivative/integral/taylor series of hundreds of functions. It does focus on the "common" ones (i.e., lists them first) but it has everything you would every need. Ever. Great reference guide for everything up to 2-variable calculus.
Also has: geometric relationships, trig identities, etc..

Also, when all electronics are destroyed (because of global thermonuclear war) and you are stuck in a fallout shelter/bunker, it has pages and pages of log tables!
