Higher Mathematics for Beginning Physicists and Engineers (repost)

Reader's review:
This book is a priceless pearl. A rare jewel. I was most fortunate to find this book in the early 1990's in sort of a book/textbook closeout outlet. It is the best math book I have ever seen. It is my favorite and I have always prized it. With this clear and lucid book, you could teach higher math to grade schoolers.
It is a joy to read. The authors make the subjects so much more readily accessible and adsorbable. It is not really a text book, but the authors must have been incredible math and physics teachers. I would have liked to have been in some of their lectures. Just note the number of four and a half and five star books by each of the authors. I collected many books on application of higher math to engineering and science. This is my favorite and the best I ever found. It is a shame you cannot find a math book written in the west that is as clear and lucid. I know part of the answer is in the way textbooks are sold to colleges in America. What does that say about the progression of math, engineering and science education in America? The book provides a good survey from basic calculus to higher order math. Few math books that start at basic underlying math, derivatives and integrals go as far as this one in higher math, and as compactly, densely and succinctly. I highly recommend this book. It needs to be in print.
