This book is great to have around, it offers tons of solutions to integrals, series, functions, etc... this is a must have for every scientist or engineer, however there are a lot of numerical tables which are by now completely obsolete, for instance Bessel function values, most of those tables are easily and more accurately calculated by Matlab. What is really useful in this book are not the numerical but the analyitical solutions to many, many functions.
Event today with software like Mathematica this book will still be useful, specially in those cases in which the software just doesnt give you the correct or expected answer. Im an EE grad student, and this book by Abramowitz coupled with
Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, Eighth Edition
have provided me with many useful analytic solutions to very difficult integrals and functions which appear in engineering, I highly recommend both books.

Livro de referência muito bom para áreas de exatas e engenharias

O manual, ao lado de inúmeras equações de diversos campos da matemática, traz uma quantidade significativa de gráficos e de tabelas numéricas para viabilizar cálculos práticos em problemas que utilizam as referidas equações. Destaco a presença de exemplos demonstrando a utilização das tabelas.
Para quem estuda e/ou trabalha com exatas e engenharias, este livro funciona muito bem com a famosa “Tabela Schaum” (Manual de Fórmulas, Métodos e Tabelas de Matemática, do autor Murray Spiegel e editado pela McGraw-Hill).
O exemplar adquirido é usado e, ainda que trazendo marcas de frequente utilização, está em bom estado :-)
A entrega ocorreu em prazo mais rápido que o previsto, mesmo sendo compra internacional, e o vendedor foi cuidadoso, embalando o livro num pacote plástico adicional, totalmente vedado, além da caixa-padrão, para protegê-lo até a chegada. Estou bem satisfeito com a aquisição :-D
