Mastering Technical Mathematics

I have been buying Stan's books for over 15 years, on many different technical subjects. I have never been disappointed! His books are always a great buy for the present and future reference!

I studied and learned most of this stuff years ago, and then proceeded to forget much of it as the years passed. But as a software developer, I have occasionally needed to refresh my understanding of some neglected area of mathematics... and this book has been invaluable for that. It might also be helpful as a supplementary text for students learning some area of math for the first time, since the explanations are often much more helpful and straightforward than anything I remember from my textbooks. The explanations are clear and concise, with useful diagrams, examples, and problems (with fully-worked-out solutions in the back) to help test and verify your understanding. The authors don't waste a lot of time, but still manage to keep the topic interesting by appropriate use of real-world examples and clear explanations. A very good book...

This book enabled me to teach myself algebra,trig and calculus at home. It takes you at the start, from counting with an abacus all the way through to integral calculus and beyond.The best math book I've seen.

This book is an excellent source for review material for both the serious and amateur mathematician. The author stresses "understanding" the techniques over rote memorization.
