Is there a book like this on scientific/engineering math?

When I went back to school I picked up a copy of the previous edition of "Mathematical Techniques" by Jordan and Smith (Mathematical Techniques). It covers the usual undergraduate engineering maths quite well, in a reasonable style.

I also picked up a copy of "All the Mathematics You Missed" by Garrity (All the Mathematics You Missed). It has a lot less detail, but is quite readable as a refresher.
