I carry this book with me everywhere, right along side my Palm Pilot!
I really wish that this book had a comprehensive list of physical constants. Sometimes when I am out at a bar with my friends, and one of us doesn’t remember the value of (say) the permeability of free space, I could have that number ready-at-hand.
Otherwise, it is an excellent travel-size reference.

This little book is a good tool to add to your tool box. It has a fairly complete tabulation of formulas and even goes into some depth explaining them, but not too much. The only reason it got 4 vs 5 stars for the rating was that the index is not cross referenced. I got the book as an aid for my first attempt at the PE Exam, and it earned its way on several questions- mechanics of materials especially. I strongly recommend this book to anyone in engineering who needs a pocket guide.

This book is just awesome!
First thing you notice when you open the box: it’s tiny!
The book measures about 11.5×15.5 CM for a thickness of 3 CM.
This format makes it very easy to carry around!
It’s packed with LOADS of info which cover so many fields! Plus it’s printed on 1 side only, which gives you some space to add notes. The table at the beginning (literally at the beginning – on the cover!) makes finding the info you’re looking for very easy: each section is designated by a letter. In each section the progression is the same: from the basics up to the most advanced.
Very very handy, a must have! I which I had it when I was studying engineering man !! There’s basically almost everything you need in there! Looking through it I was amazed at all the stuff that was coming back to my memory!
The hardcover is good, it makes the book strong (and feel strong).
I think the best feature of this book is that it covers many subjects, with a broad range of complexity level. That means whether you’re just looking for some basic information to refresh your memory or get up to date with something, or if you are looking for some serious formulas and calculation, it’s in there!
I know that I will probably not use much of the advanced calculation presented, but I might come across a few, and this little book is gonna make the thing easy
It’s an excellent way to refresh your memory!
A must have

This is the absolute book for every engineer who wants to be the leader. This is a very good handbook of daily need. I suggest each one of you to buy this without any doubt.
