Customer Reviews

Wonderful!

This is a wonderful little red book. I used it all throughout my college years both undergraduate and graduate as a reference book. I will probably keep it to add to my reference library.

Incredibly handy

One of the best pocket sized mathematics references I have found all around.

Concise, fluid easily readable reference for students

A great bridge between a sometimes confusing text presentation and conceptual understanding. I will recommend Barron's as a must for my Algebra 1,2 and Honors students. Barron's is a valuable supplement for any secondary or post secondary mathematics program, keep it by your side.

An EXTREMELY useful pocket sized reference for the sciences

I am a second year Math/Physics student in college and this book is an invaluable resource for just about any formula, trig. subsitution, integral/derivative identity, mathematical terminology or concept in general. If you've ever found yourself searching for some mathematical expression, or the meaning of some obscure symbol, chances are it's in this book. Breif, clear, and concise definitions along with simple, yet descriptive visual aids. A must for any undergraduate science student.

Handy dictionary of mathematics

I am an undergraduate engineering student, and I use this dictionary often. The entries vary in length from a sentence to a few pages. The explanations are well-written and understandable. All in all, a useful reference.
