Authoritative and reliable, this A-Z provides jargon-free definitions for even the most technical mathematical terms. With over 3,000 entries ranging from Achilles paradox to zero matrix, it covers all commonly encountered terms and concepts from pure and applied mathematics and statistics, for example, linear algebra, optimisation, nonlinear equations, and differential equations. In addition, there are entries on major mathematicians and on topics of more general interest, such as fractals, game theory, and chaos. Using graphs, diagrams, and charts to render definitions as comprehensible as possible, entries are clear and accessible. Almost 200 new entries have been added to this edition, including terms such as arrow paradox, nested set, and symbolic logic. Useful appendices follow the A-Z dictionary and include lists of Nobel Prize winners and Fields' medallists, Greek letters, formulae, and tables of inequalities, moments of inertia, Roman numerals, a geometry summary, additional trigonometric values of special angles, and many more. This edition contains recommended web links, which are accessible and kept up to date via the Dictionary of Mathematics companion website. Fully revised and updated in line with curriculum and degree requirements, this dictionary is indispensable for students and teachers of mathematics, and for anyone encountering mathematics in the workplace.

Containing more than 1,000 entries, the Dictionary of Classical and Theoretical Mathematics focuses on mathematical terms and definitions of critical importance to practicing mathematicians and scientists. This single-source reference provides working definitions, meanings of terms, related references, and a list of alternative terms and definitions. The dictionary is one of five constituent works that make up the casebound CRC Comprehensive Dictionary of Mathematics.

- Great Study Aids! - Topics arranged thematically so that words are explained in context - Fully integrated system of cross referencing plus a comprehensive index.

The Oxford Student's Mathematics Dictionary provides comprehensive revision and exam support to secondary school students. This fully updated new edition has more words to match the new curriculum requirements and the higher vocabulary expectations at GCSE and beyond. Its clear layout and helpful diagrams make it contemporary and easy to use.

Despite the seemingly close connections between mathematics and other scientific and engineering fields, practical explanations intelligible to those who are not primarily mathematicians are even more difficult to find. The Dictionary of Applied Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists fills that void. It contains authoritative yet accessible defin

A fast-reference source for advanced high school and college math students. Also useful to professionals who use math on the job. Approximately 700 math terms are defined. Includes illustrative diagrams.

Mathematics, like many other specialized fields, has evolved a complex vocabulary of its own, a language not always intelligible to the newcomer. Webster's New World Dictionary of Mathematics defines, in a clear, easy-to-understand style, the terms all math students and laypersons need to know. Over 1400 important mathematical terms are listed in A-Z format, with dozens of charts and line drawings. As an added feature, the handy appendix directs readers to source material for further, in-depth study. Whether you're solving trigonometry problems - or studying geometry theorems - accessible, thorough definitions of unfamiliar terms make Webster's New World Dictionary of Mathematics a necessary resource. -- from back cover.
