Book Description

This handbook is the fifth edition of one of Academic Press's all-time best-sellers. The volume, which contains nearly 20,000 formulae for integrals, sums, series, products, and special functions, is the major reference source for integrals in the English language. It is an essential reference for mathematicians, scientists, and engineers, who rely on it when identifying and subsequently solving extremely complex problems.


* Includes hundreds of new entries, all checked where possible using Mathematica (c)/Maple V (c)
* Corrections from the Fourth Edition are checked and incorporated
* Features expanded sections on special functions and orthogonal polynomials
* Contains greatly expanded tables of Laplace and Fourier transforms
* Presents Mellin transforms in the section on integral functions
* Provides new results on Riemann zeta functions
* Carefully preserves original numbering system for complete compatibility with previous editions
* Features an expanded bibliography

Amazon.com Review

Very useful CD-ROM for all numerically inclined scientists and engineers. Produces TeX source code for selected formulas. Multiplatform-ROM for Mac, Windows, and UNIX. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

The search engine is impressive...An important bonus is that you can copy TeX source for any formula or table to the clipboard and paste it into your own TeX documents, if you use the AMS-TeX macro package. Another bonus of the CD-ROM is that it comes with a generous license for up to five simultaneous users over a network."I've seen some Gradsheteyn-Rhyzhik fans open the book seemingly at random to the precise formula they need; but for the rest of us, the ability to do a fulltext search makes the CD-ROM the preferred way to have this mathematical standard at our fingertips."
--Barry Simon, California Institute of Technology, in DE
Among other additions, this edition includes expanded material on orthogonal polynomials, many results relating to theta functions, extra material on other special functions, greatly enlarged and revised tables of Laplace and Fourier transform pairs, and a short table on Mellin transform pairs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gigantic, but well organized and highly accurate, August 30, 2000

This review is from: Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, Fifth Edition (Hardcover)

Gradshteyn and Ryzhik is to the CRC Mathematical Tables as the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary is to Webster's Collegiate. Besides being big, it's easy to find things in, because of the way the integrals are organized into classes. Like any other integral tables, you'll probably have to make a change of variables or two to get your problem into a standard form, but since the classes are well covered, you have a big target to shoot for, so your chances of finding your integral tabulated are excellent.

An unscientific sampling indicates that this book has remarkably few errors. It really helped me through grad school.

4.0 out of 5 stars 7th Edition book includes the CD-ROM, March 6, 2007

This review is from: Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, Seventh Edition (Hardcover)

After a 7 year wait, the 7th Edition of Gradshteyn & Ryzhik has finally been released! Other reviews speak to the tremendous utility of this classic. It is worth noting that the latest edition now INCLUDES a fully-searchable CD-ROM version of the book. However, I did notice a bug when using this on Windows XP SP2 with FireFox 2.0.0.2. (The CD-ROM is optimized for the Netscape browser and CANNOT be used with Internet Explorer.) Although I am able to click on the "Contents" button and navigate through the sections; and although I am able to go back to the title page by clicking on "Home"; when I click on the "Book Contents" button in the middle, FireFox freezes on me and I have to terminate the browser process.

1.0 out of 5 stars CD-ROM version may not work for you., December 2, 2004

By 

Leo Bellantoni (FNAL, Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, Fifth Edition (CD-ROM)

The paper version is a real touchstone for the practice of all manner of applied mathematics. The CD-ROM version belongs in the discount bin. Here is why:

1) The CD-ROM is edition 5; but edition 6 has been out for 4 years.

2) The DynaText software, which is needed to read/browse/search the book, is showing signs of age. It works fine on the computers of a decade ago but not necessarily on the machines of today. See the review of J.F.Groote.

The product is advertised as working on Macs but will not work on most Macs. Specifically, it does not seem to work on either G4 or G5 hardware with OS X, even under the so-called "Classic" mode. I believe that the problem is that the browser is shipped as an executable that requires a specific architecture.

It is usable under Windows, but you might need to use one of the backwards-compatibility options to run the installer.

It will not apparently run under any form of Linux, the most recent (and rapidly becoming the most popular) transmogrification of Unix. Again, DynaText is put on the CD-ROM as a binary executable; if you are not using SunOS 4 or 5, Solaris or SGI IRIX 5.2 then you can not use this product.
