Glimrende samling af formler og tal. Jeg har brugt mange timer på at løse fjerdegradsligninger vha formlen i denne bog. Der er dog vældig mange trykfejl i indholdsfortegnelsen, så jeg tror de har haft en praktikant til at lave den.

I purchased this book used for much less that $1.00 (maybe 10 cents) in 1970 or 71 for the log tables and formulas and used it in my classes at Laney College in Oakland, CA.

A great old book of tables for when we actually used logarithms for calculation. Electricity! Who needs electricity I still have my trusty slide rule. :-)

You can always tell the age of the student by the edition of the CRC. It is one of my favorite books. No it's not a turn paging novel or an inspiring or riveting nonfiction work, but it does provide me with a wealth of knowledge. It has been a good friend these many years.
