In Bulgaria there is a little yellow book that carries all the rules in mathematics one would need through all of K-12 and then some. It has quadratic formulas, limits, trigonometry (including sin/cos conversion tables), not as many physics formulas though. Everything is explained succinctly as well. It is a commonly used and required book in all schools and it gives you a quick review of anything you need before math competitions, tests, or just brush up after a while. There absolutely needs to be a book like that for US kids and the baseline math levels here will rise up substantially.

The small yellow book might have already fallen out of fashion. I graduated from a math high school in Bulgaria about 10 years ago, and I vaguely remember the yellow book being referred to as if it was popular during the stone age.

Is it available in english?
Or any other equivalent book in english?
It's not really comparable to the yellow book and its meant as a glossary for an older audience, but I've found Mathematical Notation: A Guide for Engineers and Scientists [1] to be useful, especially for reading CS and ML papers.

The Art of Problem Solving series has this. The Basics, Vol. 1, and Beyond, Vol. 2, are a lot like that. They aren't course material. AOPS has that with Prealgebra thru Calculus. These are distillations for contest math with explanations and problems.
Is it in Cyrillic or Latin ? Do you know if its available online ?

It's in Cyrillic. The official title is "Четиризначни математически таблици и формули".

googled Четиризначни because didn't recognize it as a russian word (it means four digit) and the first hit is that book

Bulgarian is a distinct language using the Cyrillic alphabet (as is for instance Macedonian, Serbian and Ukrainian)

wikipedia used to have this

e.g. i understood the other two words in the title no problem.
>Ukrainian
i'm from moldova and i speak russian and understand ukrainian pretty easily. calling them distinct languages is true but it's pedantic - it's a very blurry line how mutually intelligible the two languages are.
-Similar story where I come from - Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are sufficiently similar that we can mostly understand each other without much effort, especially (my opinion) in writing - Danish pronunciation is far more challenging to grasp than Swedish, at least to my Norwegian ears.
