Louis Lyons makes mathematics come alive in his book, which is really helpful for physics students. He gives you practical applications of all those equations in math which make little sense at first.
Every chapter has very few problems at the end, but all are really good problems, which test your fundamentals of the chapter.
I recommend the book to anyone who likes Math, especially those who like it but find some parts of it boring.
I found it very useful for my IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) preparation too.

This is a great book, a must for people from 6 - 96. Is there anything that bothered you in maths, & you were shy or afraid to ask your strict teacher? well, once you have : All You Wanted to Know About Mathematics but Were Afraid to Ask : Mathematics for Science Students, there'll be no problems at all cause this book will give you answers to all your maths problems..... i advice anyone with trouble in maths to buy & read it carefully..... anyone who buys this book will have no regrets....

It is inescapable that one will forget what one has learned in class - be that from F = ma to calculus to Gaussian Elimination. Nothing beats this book as a quick review to what you have forgotten for your advanced math - and not just a review, but to real situations that you will need that math - focus in actual engineering and physics problems. Another great charm of this book is that it is written with the intent to be easily read - not dry and as precise as possible "classical" textbook style.

The underline this is a great companion book for any advanced undergraduate and graduate students or post-docs / researcher. Anyway, if you think you have a rather silly math question and is afraid to ask, why not ask this book?
