This is a handbook for scientists,engineers and those intersted inmathematics and its applications.It presents a brief history ofmathematics followed by a summaryof basic undergraduate methods,techniques and formulas togetherwith numerous fi gures and examples.Within the text is a summary ofthe basic formulas from algebra,trigonometry, plane geometry, solidgeometry, calculus, vector calculus,ordinary differential equations,probability and statistics along withdiagrams and illustrations showinghow formulas are to be applied. Thisis followed by a chapter on specialfunctions which arise in a variety ofmathematics applications. The fi nalchapter is a collection of selectedapplied mathematics applicationstaken from the subject areas ofmechanics, physics and chemistry.There are three appendices. Theappendix A contains units ofmeasurement from the SystèmeInternational d’ Unitès (designatedSI in all Languages). The appendix Bcontains tables of integrals for bothindefi nite and defi nite integrals, withover 850 integrals presented. Theappendix C contains miscellaneoustopics that students entering the fi eldsof science or engineering should beaware of. There is also an extensiveindex to aid in fi nding informationabout a specifi c topic. •
