The universal encyclopedia of mathematics / World of Mathematics and James R. Newman.

With a Foreword by James R. Newman Mathematics has been called the Queen of the Sciences, but she is also the busiest maid-of-all-work. All of us, in the course of a week, make an immense number of calculations of one sort or another. School children are faced with mathematical exercises; parents are called in over difficult homework; every form of business demands calculation and every science; nor is the housewife spared the need for figures at home. Craftsman and technician, actuary and accountant, scientist and engineer, teacher and student: we all calculate.

The book starts from the beginning of secondary school mathematics and includes many of the topics studied for a university degree. It is not a book for the professional mathematician, but will help the student to become one. The encyclopedia is reliable and the explanations clear. It contains a large collection of formulae (arithmetical, algebraic, geometric, trigonometric, special functions, series, differential and integral calculus). There are also tables of mathematical functions (powers, square and cube roots, logarithms, trigonometrical functions, exponential functions, lengths of arcs and angles in degree and radians, tables of differences) every value electronically calculated separately, with no interpolated values.
