A Handbook of Essential Mathematical Formulae

Intended for students of mathematics as well as of engineering, physical science, economics, business studies, and computer science, this handbook contains vital information and formulas for algebra, geometry, calculus, numerical methods, and statistics. Comprehensive tables of standard derivatives and integrals, together with the tables of Laplace, Fourier, and Z transforms are included. A spiral binding that allows the handbook to lay flat for easy reference enhances the user-friendly design.

Alan Davies is a professor of mathematics at the University of Hertfordshire and has been teaching mathematics to engineers, scientists, and mathematicians for more than 30 years. He is the author of An Introduction to Computational Geometry for Curves and Surfaces. Diane Crann is a mathematics graduate with more than 10 years of experience in organizing mathematics-related activities for people of all ages, including the Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclass Series.
