All the Math You Missed: (But Need to Know for Graduate School)

I like this book alot. This gives overview and important topics of higher mathematics. As title says this book gives all maths that we need to know for higher studies

I was looking for a text that would help me renew some of my math skills - and also provide a holistic roadmap for broadening and deepening my efforts to prepare for graduate-level course work.

The writing in this book is clear, concise, and well written.

I especially appreciated the commentary in the "Books" section at the end of the chapters - offering the author's person insights & suggestions on which books to explore a given topic further.

I enjoyed reading the 1st edition more than 20 years ago. This 2nd edition has 4 more topics and is very well written and just as enjoyable to read. Although I never made it to grad school. I think anyone interested in a "survey" of important mathematics would enjoy and benefit from reading this book. Like his fellow Williams College colleague Colin Adams' book on knots, this book is a very well done effort!

I've not quite finished reading this book, but I find its choice of topics as "the maths missing" very good indeed. It's also piqued at just the level I wanted.

É um resumo dos principais tópicos de um curso de graduação, com alguns exercícios e uma bibliografia para aprofundamento. Indicado para quem quer se preparar para uma pós-graduação em Matemática. Muito bem escrito, mas sucinto como se propôs.

The bibliography lists almost 200 authoritative resources and is itself worth the price of the book. This book will inspire readers to discover topics they may not have ever encountered.

I'm using this book as a review. It would also be helpful for college students learning the subjects for the first time. The presentation is a bit different from other textbooks; I think it's very helpful to read at least two different perspectives.

A nice resource in the style of the Princeton Companion. Helps give a quick overview of a subject and guide you through the literature. Great for those reviewing long forgotten material.

If you think you will learn graduate level mathematics from this book, you are very mistaken, this is a review of undergraduate level mathematics, some of it it’s useful for physicists, and engineers, from this book and it’s references you can expand your knowledge a lot.

I have the original book. This is a nice update and the author has done a good job with it. If you are looking for an overview of advanced mathematics for your studies, this is a great book to have.

I studied physics as an undergrad (a long time back), and have recently return to self-studies. This book provides an excellent summary of the essential theorems of advanced graduate mathematics, as needed for advanced undergraduate, and 1st/2nd year graduate study in physics. I'm not sure why the preview is virtually empty, not even a table of contents. That is usually a "red flag" for a book with no value, but here there is great content, clear organization, strong and graspable writing, and connections between different areas of math of well elucidated. This book is not for mathematicians, the proofs are brief or omitted altogether. But excellent for physicists, and probably for EEs, mech Es, material scientists, etc.

If/when I have time, I may edit this to at least post the outline of the table of contents. Anyway -- lacking a decent preview, I decided I could afford a few $$ to give the book a test run. I am glad I did.

I studied mathematics in graduate school 50 years ago, then worked as an actuary for 30 years. Thus I really enjoy reading a clear summary of the various topics one should know after a bachelor's degree, review, nostalgia and catching up on what I missed. It is very enjoyable to read succinct accounts of the most central parts of mathemtics. Highly recommended!
