CHOICE Review

Harris and Stocker's handbook covers undergraduate engineering mathematics; standard topics from analysis, like analytic geometry, derivatives, integrals, vector analysis, differential equations, and transforms all appear. Boolean algebra, some linear algebra, and some probability and statistics are also treated. Some unusual topics, such as fuzzy logic, neural nets, programming languages, and some computer algebra areas also show up. A surprising omission is large tables of common functions like log or trig functions. But the authors have probably guessed that modern calculators and computers have obviated the need for such tables. The table of contents is well organized, and there is no difficulty finding information on a variety of topics. The index is less worthy, e.g., Bayes's theorem is found under "formula of Bayes." Since one of the authors is German, some usage will strike the English speaker as strange (e.g., jota for iota; inconsistent use of periods for decimal points; a graph with E as the vertex set rather than the edge set). In all, a great job of covering a lot of mathematics, and making it easy to use. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. P. Cull; Oregon State University
