Synopsis

If there is a formula to solve a given problem in mathematics, you will find it in Alan Jeffrey's Handbook of Mathematical Formulas and Integrals. Thanks to its unique thumb-tab indexing feature, answers are easy to find based upon the type of problem they solve. The Handbook covers important formulas, functions, relations, and methods from algebra, trigonometric and exponential functions, combinatorics, probability, matrix theory, calculus and vector calculus, both ordinary and partial differential equations, Fourier series, orthogonal polynomials, and Laplace transforms. Based on Gradshteyn and Ryzhik's Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, Fifth Edition (edited by Jeffrey), but far more accessible and written with particular attention to the needs of students and practicing scientists and engineers, this book is an essential resource. Affordable and authoritative, it is the first place to look for help and a rewarding place to browse.

Special thumb-tab index throughout the book for ease of use
Answers are keyed to the type of problem they solve
Formulas are provided for problems across the entire spectrum of Mathematics
All equations are sent from a computer-checked source code
Companion to Gradshteyn: Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, Fifth Edition
The following features make the Handbook a Better Value than its Competition:
Less expensive
More comprehensive
Equations are computer-validated with Scientific WorkPlace(tm)<$> and Mathematica(r)<$>
Superior quality from one of the most respected names in scientific and technical publishing
Offers unique thumb-tab indexing throughout the book which makes finding answers quick and easy

From the Back Cover

The solution of mathematical problems requires the successful manipulation of a great variety of functions, the use of general mathematical results and the evaluation of integrals. The purpose of this Handbook is to simplify this task.
This Handbook provides reference material that helps simplify the solution of a problem, both by easing the task of locating important functional relationships and also by removing the tedium of evaluating most of the integrals that arise.
This Second Edition is an enhancement of the first. It covers important formulas, functions, relations and methods from algebra, trigonometric and exponential functions, combinatorics, probability, matrix theory, calculus and vector calculus, both ordinary and partial differential equations, Fourier Series, orthogonal polynomials, Laplace and Fourier transforms. Additional material has been added such as proof by mathematical induction, the acceleration of convergence of series, and properties of spherical Bessel functions.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES INCLUDE:

* The integrals, functions and mathematical results used in most applications of mathematics are easily located, and they are presented in the most common form instead of the standard form that usually requires manipulation.
* Tables of Laplace and Fourier transform pairs have been simplified by the inclusion of the most useful results.
* A new section on numerical approximation gives information on interpolation, PadE approximation and finite difference approximations to ordinary and partial derivatives.
* A new section on the Z-transform
* Equations are validated with Mathematica.r
* The thumb-tab indexing feature provides an easy reference system.

The Handbook is based on Gradshteyn and Ryzhik's Table of Integrals, Series, and Products (Academic Press), edited by Alan Jeffrey. Alan is a Professor of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Delaware and his distinguished career includes work at New York University, Stanford University, and University of Wisconsin.
