Earlier 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...

It's not Russian language. Close, but it's not.

Do 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.

Math cheatsheet made by others are not very useful. When it's not about a large public API it doesn't really make sense. People also forget that most theorems/formulas have slight modifications that are very useful but make these kind of enterprise very difficult.

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?

It's not really comparable to the yellow book and its meant as a glossary for an older audience, but I've found Mathematical Notation: A Guide for Engineers and Scientists [1] to be useful, especially for reading CS and ML papers.

Theoretical Computer Science Cheat Sheet is a more elegant and concise actual math cheat sheet, compared to this handbook. https://www.tug.org/texshowcase/cheat.pdf

Nope, for someone who is almost completely ignorant of mathematics and especially tripped up in learning more because they don't know enough mathematical notation, the OP is much better because it actually explains the meaning of various notation symbols. Your link just jumps into formulas full of them without contextualizing these basics.

Bulgarian is a distinct language using the Cyrillic alphabet (as is for instance Macedonian, Serbian and Ukrainian)

wikipedia used to have this

e.g. i understood the other two words in the title no problem.

>Ukrainian

i'm from moldova and i speak russian and understand ukrainian pretty easily. calling them distinct languages is true but it's pedantic - it's a very blurry line how mutually intelligible the two languages are.

Would you call a two hundred page document a cheat sheet?

Reminds me of the Schaum’s Outline Mathematical Handbook of Formulas and Tables by Murray Spiegel, which is more concise and better organized. My uncle gave me his copy when I was 12 years old and that got me started on my road to mathematics.

That is "The Mathematics Handbook", v4.1

I meant his website.

-Similar story where I come from - Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are sufficiently similar that we can mostly understand each other without much effort, especially (my opinion) in writing - Danish pronunciation is far more challenging to grasp than Swedish, at least to my Norwegian ears.
