I've owned paper copies of Murray Spiegel's Schaum Outline of Mathematics, and even the government-funded Abramowitz-Stegun doorstop, this reminds me of those somewhat, but the title is misleading as it has as much physics and chemistry as mathematics.

#122I think the author's page (Alex Spartalis) deserves to be mentioned: https://www.alexspartalis.com/cheat-sheet.html He has the same version (v2.10) there and mentions that, "The Web version does not include the distribution functions due to file size restrictions. Email me if you would like a copy of these." That explains why pages 213-330 are missing. Someone should offer to upload the full copy to keybase.pub (or s…

If you do re-upload it, you should let us know here and/or post a link to the full version on HN.

The sort of ~100 page softcover reference book that we were permitted to use in highschool math, physics, and chemistry exams is called around here, literally translated, a book of tables. The term is probably a remnant from a time before pocket calculators when it contained actual trig and log tables. "Book of formulas" would probably be a more apt name nowadays. Not sure if there's a common word for such a thing in…
This kind of thing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abramowitz_and_Stegun I'm not sure there's really an English word for it. That's strange.
Normally, I've heard others reference books like A&S as a "handbook."
It's even in the formal title.

#124To me this seems to be exclusively undergraduate mathematics that one might learn in an engineering program. No mention of topology or modern algebra.

#125I really didn't want to be that guy, and props for the author for such comprehensive reference work, but god, what an appalling typography. Bad tables with too many lines bitmap formulas with misadjusted size, poor spacing, ugly font... Almost everything that could be wrong is wrong.
I came here to say the same thing. Looks like the author did not use a good authoring tool to produce good math output. I generally take notes like this with LaTeX and compile them to PDF but PDFs can be large and if committing to a Git repo can lead to large .git directories. The BasicTeX package for Mac (brew install basictex) has worked well for me: http://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html These days I also tak…
Just as a note, MS Word has had LaTeX support for about 2 years now.[1]

Out of topic, but why is your username green?
I think it indicates new accounts. As of writing this comment the profile is only 1hr old.
Yep. Long time lurker on hacker news, but never felt the need to comment before. To be clear supernova's comment didn't trigger me - I just felt that it was worth pointing out that the document was not uncommon in my experience.

Just use torrent! It's easy, and potentially free!

Searching for stuff I've used, this document is also quite light on combinatorics, complexity theory, and order theory (and of stuff I haven't used much, I don't see anything on category theory or topology). I don't think 330 pages is nearly enough to be truly all-in-one.
Agreed. This document is reasonably broad but it's missing quite a lot of undergrad mathematics, let alone graduate math. If you literally wrote down sequences of definition, theorem, proof, definition, theorem, proof, ... with no exposition or exercises whatsoever, I think you might be able to include most undergraduate math in about 1000 pages. That would include calculus, real analysis, complex analysis, linear al…
'Riley, Hobson and Bence' was a standard reference I used throughout my undergrad and graduate studies. Sure enough, it's about 1200 pages.
