SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the need for a comprehensive math reference book suitable for computer engineering students transitioning to embedded systems. Participants recommend Erwin Kreyszig's "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" as an ideal resource, covering essential topics such as differential equations, Fourier and Laplace transforms, and random variables without excessive proofs. The book is available for purchase at various prices, including $63 from Australia and $5.98 from Better World Books.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus and differential equations
  • Familiarity with Fourier and Laplace transforms
  • Knowledge of random variables and their applications
  • Interest in embedded systems and signal processing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" by Erwin Kreyszig for detailed study
  • Explore online resources for differential equations and their applications
  • Learn about Fourier and Laplace transforms in the context of signal processing
  • Investigate additional reference books for embedded systems mathematics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for computer engineering students, embedded systems developers, and anyone seeking a practical math reference for engineering applications.

Hey guys!

Does exist a book/series of books that can be used as a fast reference when in need?

I study computer engineering, but I'm now moving my interest towards embedded systems and I have to study again circuits, electronic, signal processing etc.
I would like to have at hand knowledge about differential equation, integral, fourier/laplace transforms, random variables, and all those theorems related.
Of course I'm not interested in math-table (those filled only with formulas and nothing else), they're too much condensed and things aren't explained at all. But at the same time I don't need proofs or philosophical detours.

Any idea?

Thank you very much!
