The two books with the same title: Advanced Engineering Mathematics from 1)Kreyszig and 2)Stroud both huge in size are both very good for teachers and students who have math. as their main goal to learn. However from my standpoint Kreyszig treats linear &amp; matrix algebra much better than Stroud,and Stroud treats Laplace &amp; Differensial Equations and Multiple Integrals better than Kreyszig.<br>KHoegs.
