Engineering Mathematics Handbook

Designed for quick reference, the book presents simple, easy-to-grasp mathematics fundamentals--progressing in logical stages from algebra and geometry through such advanced topics as Laplace transforms and numerical methods. The fourth edition features new material on logarithms, cubic and quartic equations, Molleweide equations, standard curves and their analytical equations, maxima and minima equations, and much more. This edition also contains, for the first time, a valuable glossary of mathematical terms.

Jan J. Tuma (deceased) was Professor of Engineering at Arizona State University. He was author of the Handbook of Structural and Mechanical Matrices and SchaumÕs Outline of Structural Analysis, both published by McGraw-Hill. Ronald A. Walsh is Manager of Research and Development at Powercon Corporation in Severn, Maryland. Earlier, he was an aerospace designer for Martin-Marietta. Mr. Walsh is author of the Electromechanical Design Handbook, now in a second edition, and the McGraw-Hill Machining and Metalworking Handbook.
