Reddit reviews CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae, 32nd Edition (Advances in Applied Mathematics)

The CRC Standard Mathematical Tables book was my bible in engineering, back before graphing calculators were a thing.

I ended up with 2 copies, one in my car, one at home. Another good reference to have

You mean the CRC Math Handbook?

I got one in high school. Loved it!

• The first four books of the Foxfire book series are good for many interesting bits of old-time know-how that have disappeared.
  
• The books Where There Is No Doctor and Where There Is No Dentist are available as downloads from Hesperian. Personally I like printed versions and ordered them off of Amazon.
  
• The Chemistry of Powder and Explosives covers some very important ground if you're concerned about generational collapse and self-defense.
  
• It's always good to have a version of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and the CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae.
  
• If you want to learn basic electronics get your ham license. The study books are relatively good guides to the basics.
  
  I don't have any good book recommendations for mechanical skills. I have a number of specialized ones but nothing really generic that I would recommend.

Wonder no more. These things were as common as scientific calculators are now.

Lots of editions available, at basically every major bookseller, including amazon.

Keep this under your pillow, bought because of a recommendation from a PhD candidate and it hasn't left my side since as I work:

CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae 32nd Ed.

The CRC book of math tables and formulae could be helpful.

And likewise the CRC Handbook of Chemistry And Physics.

CRC Tables is a must for anyone that may use math in their job. Also good for students. It has just about any formula or table you'd ever encounter in your math career.
