Well written but all over the map as far as subject matter.......2007-06-23

I found this Schaum's outline to be a very well written book on a variety of elementary mathematical subjects probably most suitable for someone who has just graduated high school and is a freshman starting some kind of technical degree. However, beyond that, I am not sure exactly who the target audience is supposed to be. The book contains some information on the very basic computer math that a college freshman engineering or IT student would need to know such as binary number systems and computer codes and math. However, some of the other material is very much oriented towards the aspiring computer engineer but is not really mathematical such as the sections on logic, flowcharts, sets and relations, and logic gates. Other sections are mathematical but don't necessarily have anything to do with computers and could be just as helpful to a student of applied mathematics such as the sections on linear algebra, linear equations, statistics, and graph theory.

Thus my recommendation would be that if you need a good tutorial on a variety of mathematical and pseudo-mathematical topics that tie in well with a technical degree of any kind, the low price of admission on this odd little outline is probably worth it. Just don't expect it to rescue you in any one course in particular. It will more likely rescue you in particular sections of several courses instead.

Great book which helped me tremendously.......2005-06-20

This book tremendously helped me understand computers and their relationship to mathematics and helped clear about doubts all through the semesters in college that I studied computer science. I strongly recommend this book to anyone majoring in computer science, information technologies, computer programming, etc ... as this book serves as a pillar to understanding the fundamentals of computer hardware and software.

A cheap and good book.......2000-01-22

The book is pretty much suitable for students who has finished high school maths but requires revision on maths for computing. A few chapters are simple enough for students to run over quickly. There is a supplementary questions and solved questions with working for student to understand and practice on. Overall the book is good enough to refresh your memory on computer maths.

very poorly structured.......1999-12-23

For a start this book is never intended to be used by itself but as a supplement,so any attempt to use it as a textbook will only reslut in frustartion. Furthermore its not geared to teach as many VERY important concepts are simply ommited and the author makes far too many assumptions which all results in an incomplete book. The book attempts to cut study time but also ends up cutting too much in clear and sufficent explanations. Use this book once you have completly mastered whathever topic you are involved in,and even then its only good for the practise problems at the end of each chapter. All in all DONT buy this book if you are trying to learn something...use it ONLY for reviwing and just as a supplement.

Book Description

Basic Mathematics with Applications to Science and Technology, Second Edition, will help anyone who has trouble applying mathematics to solve problems from the physical world. Good for students with a poor or average background in high school mathematics and for those only requiring a refresher and source-book of unfamiliar concepts, techniques and applications. Because it also includes much information not usually taught in high school or college, it's a good supplement to undergraduate courses in physical science, chemistry, physics and astronomy.

Another excellent Outline from Schaum's.......2006-04-12

This book from Schaum's is an all-in-one review/tutorial book for anyone who wants to brush up his math and is especially useful for those who want to apply math knowledge to areas such as astronomy, business, and electronics. First of all - what this book is NOT: This book isn't all a review of basic elementary arithmetic concepts like addition, multiplication, proportions, and decimals. In fact, it actually covers this stuff really briefly in the first chapter. It really covers high school mathematic subjects such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and statistics. Maybe "Outline of High School Mathematics" would be a more accurate title.

This outline goes through math subjects too quickly to be considered an effective tutorial. For example, geometry essentials are covered in only one chapter. Its actual contents - Over half of this book is on intermediate algebra topics, followed by trigonometry.

This was really a great all-in-one math manual for me. Great buy!

Very useful review of arithmetic and its applications.......1999-03-03

I have found this book to be very easy to read. It really help me to refresh some of the basic concepts and understand how to do arithmetic in bases different than the decimal. I really liked the fact that it used what I already knew about arithmetic to teach me the new concepts. I highly recommend thls book. Plenty of exercises and nice introduction to statistics.

Book Description

This volume is a substantially revised new edition of the earlier book of the same title. Six new chapters (14-19) deal with topics of current interest: multi-component convection diffusion, convection in a compressible fluid, convenction with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity, penetrative convection, nonlinear stability in ocean circulation models, and numerical solution of eigenvalue problems. The book presents convection studies in a variety of fluid and porous media contexts. It begins at an elementary level and should be accessible to a wide audience of applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.

Book Description

Widely known as the anthology that best meshes tradition with innovation, The American Tradition in Literature enters its fifth decade of leadership among textbook anthologies of American Literature. Literary merit remains the guiding principle of selection; flexibility of organization, with Walt Whitman represented in both volumes, continues to be one of the text's hallmarks.
