Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding a suitable mathematics book or series that serves as a quick reference for topics relevant to computer engineering, particularly in the context of embedded systems. Participants express a need for accessible explanations of mathematical concepts such as differential equations, integrals, Fourier and Laplace transforms, and random variables without delving into proofs or overly condensed formats.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about a book that provides quick reference material for various mathematical topics relevant to engineering.
  • Another participant suggests Erwin Kreyszig's book on advanced engineering mathematics as a potential resource.
  • A subsequent reply expresses gratitude for the recommendation, indicating it meets their needs.
  • Concerns are raised about the pricing of the suggested book, with one participant sharing a link to a copy priced at $63 from Australia.
  • Another participant provides a link to a cheaper option for the same book, priced at $5.98, while noting they have no affiliation with the seller.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of Kreyszig's book, but there are differing opinions regarding the pricing and availability of the book.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified any limitations regarding the scope of the book or the specific mathematical topics they wish to cover beyond those mentioned.

Who May Find This Useful

Students and professionals in computer engineering, embedded systems, and related fields who seek a practical reference for mathematical concepts.

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!
