Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This new edition of John Bird's pocket book has been substantially revised to include new material and reorganised to make the wealth of information inside even more easy to access.


Chapters have been sub-divided and the contents list changed accordingly so that specific nuggets of information may be located quickly and easily. New topics include polar co-ordinates, vectors, differentiation of parametric equations, maxima, minima and saddle points for functions of two variables, numerical integration and the exponential form of De Moivre's theorem. J O Bird is the author of many successful textbooks in the areas of engineering, mathematics and science.


Substantially revised to include new topics
Logical arrangement of material allows ease of reference
Handy Pocket Book format
