AI Thread Summary
A user inquired about a concise reference book or series for topics in computer engineering, particularly focusing on embedded systems, circuits, electronics, signal processing, and related mathematical concepts like differential equations, integrals, and transforms. They specified a preference for resources that provide clear explanations without excessive proofs or philosophical discussions. A recommendation was made for Erwin Kreyszig's "Advanced Engineering Mathematics," which aligns with their needs. The book was noted to be available at various prices, including a $63 option from Australia and a more affordable $5.98 from Better World Books.

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!

You might want to look at Erwin Kreyszig's book on advanced engineering mathematics.

No affiliation. YMMV.

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
