This kind of thing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abramowitz_and_Stegun

I'm not sure there's really an English word for it. That's strange.



I guess, but a very abridged version. It contains highschool-level things like trig identities, integration rules, fundamental physics and chemistry equations, values for various constants, and so on. It’s published by the national association of science teachers. The idea is making exams more about how knowledge is applied than rote memorization.


Normally, I've heard others reference books like A&S as a "handbook."

It's even in the formal title.


Right. Only "handbook" is so broad. It could be about any subject.
