This guide book to mathematics contains in handbook form the fundamental working knowledge of
mathematics which is needed as an everyday guide for working scientists and engineers as well
as for students. Easy to understand and convenient to use this guide book gives concisely the
information necessary to evaluate most problems which occur in concrete applications. In the
newer editions emphasis was laid on those fields of mathematics that became more important for
the formulation and modeling of technical and natural processes namely Numerical Mathematics
Probability Theory and Statistics as well as Information Processing. Besides many enhancements
and new paragraphs new sections on Geometric and Coordinate Transformations Quaternions and
