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.
