4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but poorly edited..., December 1, 2006

This review is from: Infinity in Your Pocket ; Over 3,000 Theorums,facts, and Formulae (Hardcover)

If you're looking for a little book that has a lot of info, then this is a good one to get. Very self explanatory in the title, the book has lots of basic/fundamental theorems, facts and formulae, ranging from algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, computers and more.
The only issue that I have with the book is the editing. I have found several double words (and and), and I have not even finished reading it all yet! Aside from that, it's a good book to look things up, and to learn from.

This review is from: Infinity in Your Pocket ; Over 3,000 Theorums,facts, and Formulae (Hardcover)

This little book is not an in-depth study guide but it's an incredible little reference book. The facts in the book are should serve as memory joggers and quick, easy to find references. Nice job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy book of Facts and Formulas, December 7, 2006

By 

Paul McCord (Macon, GA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Infinity in Your Pocket ; Over 3,000 Theorums,facts, and Formulae (Hardcover)

This book is crammed full of useful bits of knowledge from the beginning of human history up to present times, including a concise history of mathematics and a comprehensible look at various facts, figures, and formulas about the natural world and the rest of the universe. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, technology, astronomy, and much more! All somehow crammed into an easily digestable 144 pages.

It's far more useful than I first imagined when I caught a glimpse of the book's cover in a bookstore, but now that I've read through it I realize the title is accurate: with this book, I feel like I do have infinity in my pocket!

Check out it's companion book, too: Universe in Your Pocket (ISBN 0760752508).
