How about the book used in your calculus 1, 2, 3 courses?

Here is a free one:

Are you looking for a book that sort of encompasses all of that I guess? [Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig](http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Engineering-Mathematics-Erwin-Kreyszig/dp/0470458364) is sort of a one-stop shop for a lot of those topics and more. SImilarly, you might try [Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Michael Greenberg](http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Engineering-Mathematics-2nd-Edition/dp/0133214311). Greenberg’s book is similar and covers basically the same material but is a little bit more “mathematical” in its approach, if you will.

I don’t see the need to buy a book other than what the course required. My D sold her books once she finished the class. If you need a book for reference, just check out your library.
