That's pretty great! Notation and shorthand seems to trip even the most capable mathematicians up. I remember making these all the time as a student to try an help. The probability section might be the most important IMO.

#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's in Cyrillic. The official title is "Четиризначни математически таблици и формули".
googled Четиризначни because didn't recognize it as a russian word (it means four digit) and the first hit is that book https://www.book.store.bg/p35401/chetiriznachni-matematiches...
Bulgarian is a distinct language using the Cyrillic alphabet (as is for instance Macedonian, Serbian and Ukrainian)

#53In Bulgaria there is a little yellow book that carries all the rules in mathematics one would need through all of K-12 and then some. It has quadratic formulas, limits, trigonometry (including sin/cos conversion tables), not as many physics formulas though. Everything is explained succinctly as well. It is a commonly used and required book in all schools and it gives you a quick review of anything you need before mat…
The small yellow book might have already fallen out of fashion. I graduated from a math high school in Bulgaria about 10 years ago, and I vaguely remember the yellow book being referred to as if it was popular during the stone age.
Is it available in english?
Or any other equivalent book in english?

#54Do people really use this or any other of the cheatsheets you find online? In my experience, any cheat sheet that I didn't make myself is useless to me. Going directly to the sheet without having done the synthesis of information yourself skips the most important part of the process.
They tend to be a great resource for rarely used knowledge.
The key is remembering you have a cheatsheet for that rarely used knowledge.

#55This is awesome, I use evince and okular to open the pdf and could not find the table-of-content on the left side of the pdf readers, which is an essential feature for PDFs, can the PDF re-generated to produce that?

The Art of Problem Solving series has this. The Basics, Vol. 1, and Beyond, Vol. 2, are a lot like that. They aren't course material. AOPS has that with Prealgebra thru Calculus. These are distillations for contest math with explanations and problems.

#57In my country every engineering or math student had a copy of a translation of a book by the Russian authors Bronshtein and Semendyayev.

#58Eddie Shore's blog has a true cheat sheet sized "Big Font Math Reference".

+1 for Bronstein. I had classmates in my physics program who brought their family bronstein (later my father who majored in German philology told me he had a Bronstein himself for when he tried to study civil engineering, but gave it away to a friend after switching majors, I would have loved to have a family Bronstein :-) )

These cheetsheets aren't meant to be printed off and carried into your open book tests. They are meant to be greppable formula lookups. They're useful if you can define the problem but don't know the equation off your head to solve it. Think something like differentiating a trig function after you haven't used it in a while or looking up some statistical approximation.
