Do you ever wonder about the origins of mathematical terms such as
ergodic, biholomorphic, and strophoid? Here Anthony Lo Bello
explains the roots of these and better-known words like asymmetric,
gradient, and average. He provides Greek, Latin, and Arabic text in
its original form to enhance each explanation. This sophisticated,
one-of-a-kind reference for mathematicians and word lovers is based
on decades of the author's painstaking research and work. Origins
of Mathematical Words supplies definitions for words such as
conchoid (a shell-shaped curve derived from the Greek noun for
"mussel") and zenith (Arabic for "way overhead"), as well as
approximation (from the Latin proximus, meaning "nearest"). These
and hundreds of other terms wait to be discovered within the pages
of this mathematical and etymological treasure chest.
