 the key is to use it as a reference text October 22, 2000

I am currently using this massive book as it is the required text for my Engineering Math I course (MS Mech Eng). I heartily agree with others who claim to find this book is not thorough enough in the subjects it covers. BUT, out of curiosity I have delved into the book and studied the chapters covering material I am familiar with I saw in previous courses (Diff Equations, 4 Calculus courses, Control Systems, Linear Systems, Numerical Methods) and I have to say... it is an ALL encompassing book, and the tremendous amount of material in it has is a credit to itself. Do not criticize this book because you failed in understanding a subject when using it, I myself am currenly a victim of this situation. Go find a book which treats only the topic (Laplace, Fourier, Linear Algebra, etc.) you're covering now, study it, and return it. Keep Kreyszig's as a handy reference. Mathematics is an extensive science, this "handbook" for us beginners is one of the best there is. Question: Did any of you Mechanical Engineers use MARKS' Handbook for your Fluid Mechanics course, or Shigley's Machine Design Handbook for learning how to design gears?
A reference manual for advanced engineering mathematics October 3, 2005

This book is an all-encompassing book dealing with all (I am not joking) topics of advanced engineering mathematics required by practicing engineers and students. This is not meant to be used as an introductory text during a math course but as a reference manual for practical applications once you go beyond your math course. If you are looking for a comprehensive math book with consistent notation and style of writing, look no further-get this book.
Best reference to have on your desk. November 12, 2006

This is a NOT a text book for learning engineering mathematics. Its just way too dry. However, it is the single best reference to have next to you while you are working as a scientist, engineer or (as I have found recently) economist. After you leave University, you aren't going to remember all the various expansions, techniques and log rules. Once you are working, you will have this book on your book shelf.
VERY SOUND! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! March 6, 2003

It is not unusual for those who failed to pass (or understand) their courses to look for cheap scapegoats. Some have blamed their lecturers, and some have blamed their textbooks. But I am not swayed!
Thus, despite all the negative rantings some reviewers have labelled against this "Advanced Engineering Mathematics", I will advise you to see for yourself. This book is superb! Erwin Kreyszig should be honoured with a twenty-one gun salute, for compiling this outstanding compendium.
The way this book dissected Numerical Methods, Differential Equation, and Vector Calculus, will rouse envy in many academic circles. The same applies to its unsurpassed analyses of Oscillation Matrices, Quantum Symmetries, and Linear Algebra. I wonder why all those condemnations! In fact, I will advise those complainants to go back to primary school.
As its name depicts, this text is an advanced book, and not an introductory one. Still, its author took the necessary pains in tabling an uncomplicated presentation. I will, with great pleasure, recommend it to any Engineering or Science student who needs an advanced mathematics textbook.
Excellent !!! July 22, 1999

Having worked thru' the Kreyszig book as an ugrad in EE, back in the late 70s in India, and then reading the various editions of the same book by Prof. Kreyszig, I am appalled at the mindless apathy for the book as shown in the Amazon website by some readers. For a lack of a better word, I believe that most of these readers have a very warped up sense of applied mathematics - that is mathematics as it applies to solution of engineering problems. Kreyszig's book is a goldmine of information, and its latest edition contains a whole slew of carefully chosen problems that are worked out plus homework exercises to aid the student in mastering the necessary analytical techniques essential to solving problems.I have observed that of late in USA there is a lot of acerbic hostility towards mathematics. Most of the readers (including the teacher and the taught) express their displeasure if they cannot " sell " mathematics like some commodities in a grocery store. The students on the other hand, being too pampered by the existing escapism in a society are reluctant to accept the rigors of any mathematical training and hence are most unhappy if a math. text demands some discipline in terms of focussed concentration and thinking. It is excepected and unfortunate that such critics shall continue to judge such well-written and comprehensive texts on applied mathematics (such as Kreyszig) most boring and their displeasure is a substitute for more cogent and incisive analytical review.
