5.0 out of 5 stars an engineer says: thanks korn and korn, July 26, 2001

This review is from: Mathematical Handbook for Scientists and Engineers: Definitions, Theorems, and Formulas for Reference and Review (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) (Paperback)

over a period of thirty-plus years, i've benefited countless times from this dizzyingly broad and accurate handbook. it must be seen in that light: handbook. but, as such, there is simply no competition, at least for the engineer doing mathematical evaluations or predicting performance. i myself even find it enjoyable to just read in it. also to remember: it is not a compendium of computer-based techniques; indeed, it is a handbook of actual mathematics. i appreciate this small forum as an opportunity to say: Thanks, K&K.

This review is from: Mathematical Handbook for Scientists and Engineers: Definitions, Theorems, and Formulas for Reference and Review (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) (Paperback)

I have both the "hardcover" and "paperback" copies of this book. I feel that this is the "BEST" handbook of mathematics I have reviewed. It is both through and concise. The topical structure and layout of the book is excellent! The paperback is a convenient size, it fits easily within a briefcase. I most strongly recommend this book to any engineer, mathematician, physicist, etc.

I have been using Korn and Korn for over 20 years, and have gone through two hardback editions, before buying the paperback one for my son who is studying electrical engineering. I would not have bought him anything else, because Korn^2 is the MOST complete mathematical reference book I have ever seen. It is infinitely more useable than Bronshtein and Semendyayev, and if you want to have one reference book Korn^2 should be your choice.
