Description
The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Mathematics provides clear and concise definitions for over 4,000 mathematical terms. Covering both pure and applied mathematics, this comprehensive A to Z includes key theories, concepts, methods, programmes, people, and terminology. New entries have been added in the sixth edition, expanding on topics such as algebra, differential geometry, and statistics. The existing entries have also been revised and updated to reflect developments in the field. Supplementary features include detailed appendices, illustrations, graphs, charts, and useful web links for further reading. Supplementing this reference work are a historical timeline of significant mathematicians' lives and the emergence of key theorems, as well as additional resources such as basic algebra, areas and volumes, trigonometric formulae, and Roman numerals.
