    I originally made it in PDF format, but it's 49kb so too big to attach here. :p This is a document made in OpenOffice that should work for Word 97 or above and with OOo 1+.

    I've found it to be invaluable for my current math class. It seems odd, but it can be hard to find simple and accurate formulas to calculate area, volume or perimeter for an object.

    Enjoy!

    There are lots of math and engineering books that have these types of formulae. I usually use a book that I picked upat a library sale for 50 cents:
    Standard Mathematical Tables, 22nd Edition, published by CRC Press in 1973. You can pick up this book on line at very low cost.

    Thanks Griffin. It's nice of you to put this out.

    In my textbook, they are not really all in one area. So to save time I looked up equations online. In a quiz today I missed ten points because someone had the Area and Volume equations switched on their "math help" page. :D Ouch.

    So, I got these from an older math book. I'm also prepping for a move, so I'm donating a lot of old books so I don't have to travel with them.

    Kizmet: You're welcome! I hope that it saves someone a few bucks on study materials.
