Description: 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.
