Synopsis

For undergraduate courses in Mathematics.

Every home or workplace should have a mathematics reference just as it has a dictionary or language handbook. Too often we need to use some mathematical procedure that we haven't used in a long time only to realize that we just remember bits and pieces of the procedure. Prentice Hall's Reference to Mathematics is designed to help you fill in those gaps. This resource was developed in direct response to the many requests from students, parents, working adults, and teachers who are often frustrated with the limited resources they have available when they try to learn or review a mathematical process.
