There is another helpful book, the Oxford User's Guide to Mathematics, which is more limited in scope but has many subjects covered deeper than the PCM. For more details see my recent post.

I just ordered it online. I can’t believe you convinced a poor unemployed student to spend that kind of money. I hate you a little.

But, seriously, thanks for the recommendation. I’m sure it will provide countless hours of entertainment and a few moments of enlightenment too.

What about the CRC Mathematical Tables and Formulae that’s my choice for a universal math reference.

Hello! That sounds like a great book. I’m also wondering if you would like to recommend a book that has lots of proofs for basic and not-so-basic mathematics. I’m preparing for some upper level math major undergrad courses, and I’m deficient in proofs. Maybe this Princeton book is it, or any other ideas?

Thanks!
