Description

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 existingentries 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.
