A Mathematical Dictionary for Schools contains over 500 definitions of technical terms found within GCSE syllabuses. Key words and phrases are explained in clear, simple language with illustrations to aid understanding of more difficult terms. It has been written for key stages 1/GCSE students but is also suitable for key stage 3 and is the ideal companion for coursework and revision.

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.

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.

Mathematics is called the queen of all subjects but it is also thought to be one of the dreadful subject. Here is a Dictionary that goes beyond a mere listing of words and definations. This unique work has more than 2000 mathematical terms, designed as a time-saving reference work for students of all classes. Hundreds of examples and how to solve the problem of a particular type in almost every branch of mathematics has been its additional beauty. This vast fund of information will also enable the general reader to understand a particular mathematical concept, or to extend his own knowledge of mathematics. The coverage of terms is broad, from elementary terms in algebra, arithmetic through calculus, basic terms in 2-D and 3-Dimension geometry, advanced calculus, differential equations to the vector algebra and matrices, statics, dynamics and LPP. To make the understanding of concept clear more than 200 mathematical diagrams have been used. Apart from that, ample examples have been given to give in depth knowledge to students.

The dictionary explains the language of the KS3 / 4 curriculum plus some recreational areas too. With an alphabetical wordfinder of over 1000 words and phrases, additional feature spreads on key topics setting the meanings of words in context rather than in isolation, and fully supported withdiagrams and illustrations, it is a key dictionary for secondary level maths students.

Can't remember the difference between a prime number and a square number? Forgotten how many sides on a pentagon (5), heptagon (7), or nonagon (9)? Then you need DK's new "Math Dictionary " Inside, you'll find more than 300 entries on the words, phrases, and concepts used by grade-school students in their math classes and in their lives outside school.

Covering an enormous range of technical terms from both pure and applied mathematics, this superb reference goes beyond basic definitions to provide helpful explanations and examples.

Illustrations and simple definitions covering such areas as number sense and operations, algebra, basic geometry, and data representation.

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.
