With over 4,000 entries, this informative A to Z provides clear,
jargon-free definitions on a wide variety of mathematical terms.
Its entries cover both pure and applied mathematics, and include
key theories, concepts, methods, programmes, people, and
terminology. For this sixth edition, around 800 new terms have been
defined, expanding on the dictionary's coverage of topics such as
algebra, differential geometry, algebraic geometry, representation
theory, and statistics. Among this new material are articles such
as cardinal arithmetic, first fundamental form, Lagrange's theorem,
Navier-Stokes equations, potential, and splitting field. The
existing entries have also been revised and updated to account for
developments in the field. Numerous supplementary features
complement the text, including detailed appendices on basic
algebra, areas and volumes, trigonometric formulae, and Roman
numerals. Newly added to these sections is a historical timeline of
significant mathematicians lives and the emergence of key theorems.
There are also illustrations, graphs, and charts throughout the
text, as well as useful web links to provide access to further
reading.
