1.0 out of 5 stars Get CRC or Jeffrey's instead, May 13, 2000

By	Sean Leckey (Staten Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No offense but this is probably the most useless book I ever bought.

I own CRC and Jeffrey's reference books and have used them so much the binding is disintergrating. In the meantime Ogden and Fogiel's book hasn't moved from my shelf. It's poorly indexed, and the formulas are often ill-phrased.

Please, if you are a scientist or an engineer, don't buy this book. For the future, for the children, get a better reference book

2.0 out of 5 stars too many typos, July 24, 2002

By	Necdet Kurul (New City, NY United States) - See all my reviews

There are so many typos and errors in the book that I can no longer trust anything I look up in this book. I thought it deserved two stars just for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A professional engineer's MUST have!!!, April 28, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Pomona, CA) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best reference books in my library. It's a thick one, but I can't imagine any project without taking "Big Red" with me. All those formulas and relations one usually ends up rummaging through old college texts for and a handy springboard for functions one may not have encountered before. For college students this book is a MUST. Especially in those upper division courses (can you say "fourier transform"? ). Definitely worth the investment.
