Good reference for those rare occasions when you need to be able to use a [insert dead Frenchman's name] function.

I used this book as a text for an applied math course. The presentation of the book is well done. The emphasis was on gaining competency through practice and not on proving rigorous theories per se (though some of that is included). The author worked out in detail many example problems that I found to be helpful.
As a caveat, there were MANY typos in the book. A few of the theorems were even stated incorrectly. Some of the answers in the back of the book are incorrect. For at least one homework problem that I know of you are tasked with proving something that is just plain wrong. The end result: lots of wasted time. I found the treatment of linear algebra to be a little outdated; he focuses mainly on properties of determinants and inverses, which these days is not the way to approach applied linear algebra.
I'm more forgiving of these blunders because the book is low priced. All in all it was helpful to me as an aid to learning.

Good Book. Helps keep various problem-solving techniques clear and distinguishable. Not Sure if this is supposed to complement Erwin Kreyszig famous book of the same name or not.
Inexpensive complete mathematical reference book January 9, 2007

This is a great concise mathematical reference manual at a great price. I started using this book for reference to complex integrals in graduate school and have sinced used it as my primary mathematical reference sources for all the basic mathematical equations I learned while earning my engineering degree. I recommend it to my students (I teach at a university now) and frequently give it as a gift to graduating high school students (relatives and such) planning to pursue math or engineering related degrees in college. Note that it is a true reference manual and one needs to know how to use the equations in the first place in order to use the book. In many cases this requires coursework except for simple topics like equations for areas of different shapes, etc.
