Dictionary of Mathematics

by John Berry, Ted Graham, Jenny Sharp

In the Dictionary of Mathematics, key ideas, terms, and concepts are clearly explained in an accessible and easy-to-use format. Each entry begins with a short definition and is followed by an explanation and/or worked example. The more complex and important the term, the more detailed the entry. In writing each entry, the authors kept three questions in what does the entry mean? why do I need to know it? how is it used? The method follows the familiar concept that knowledge in mathematics consists of "concept, context, and skill."
