Schaum's Outline of Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists

Rating:
Summary: essential for any scientist
Review: I bought this book for self study and it is amazing. For someone interested in furthering their mathematical knowledge and applying it to their research, it is a must have item. Especially because of its low price and the numerous solved exercises that one can follow and easily learn from. Covers everything from PDE's to conformal mapping and everything in between at an approachable level for non-mathematicians.

Rating:
Summary: Great SOLVED examples, although the scope may be too large
Review: It's a perfect book for training and reference. Theory is very short, and instead, it contains a lot of examples with solutions. However, the field 'Advanced mathematics' is so wide, that presumably, a reader will only be interested in parts of it.

Summary: A good review of topics
Review: This book goes through all the basics needed to master advanced mathematics. It covers differential equations; linear differential equations; Laplace transformations; vector analysis; multiple, line and surface integrals with the theorems; Fourier series and integrals; gamma and beta functions, Bessel functions, Legendre and othhogonal functions, partial differential equations, complex variables and conformal mapping, complex inversion formula (for Laplace transformations); and matrices. At the beginning is also a review of the basic terms and rules.

This is a good book to review to refresh your memory of what you studied in school. If you are in school now, this will be a good supplement. As with other books in this series, there are problems you can work to test your knowledge, but not all of them have the answers printed in the book. This is a little bothersome, but the book is still worth the investment.
