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.

For interpreters, translators and many other user groups this mathematics dictionary provides terms in English, German, French and Russian covering all branches of mathematics. An important criterion of a technical multilingual dictionary is the speed and accuracy with which a given term can be located and translated. To facilitate access and reliability, the compilers have assigned each term to a narrower subject category. These categories are: fundamentals of mathematics, logic, algebra, topology, mathematical analysis, calculus, statistics and geometry. In cases where a large vocabulary exists for a particular subject category, further subdivisions are used e.g. group theory within algebra, differential equations within mathematical analysis, elementary geometry within geometry. The complex problem of homonyms and synonyms is also dealt with. Where several homonyms occur within the same subject area, an explanation or short definition is given to avoid ambiguity. Synonyms pose an especially delicate problem in mathematics as there is scarcely any standardization of terminology.

Remarkable progress continues to be made in mathematical sciences. This advancement has made inter-relationships amongst various branches within mathematics and with other branches of science highly evolving; leading to newer 'terms' being invented and getting added. These additions make mathematics a little more complex. Emerging complexity translates into more difficulties for students in grasping the problem. And what makes the comprehension problematic? It is the introduction of 'terms', their definition and how to apply them in physical, chemical, biological, biotechnology, and social sciences works. And if these terms are not adequately explained, students and other interested readers face a herculean task in understanding what the question is all about, and unless readers clearly understand the terminology, finding a solution is next to impossible. This book contains mathematical terms related to arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, analytic geometry, differential & integral calculus and differential equations, probability, statistics, logic etc. Appendices in the form of important formulas from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, logarithms and antilogarithms have been added. A few entries contain cross references indicating where to find further applications of the topic under discussion. It is an ideal manual for mathematics complete with illustrative diagrams and formulas. Inclusion of Greek Alphabets, metric systems and other useful mathematical symbols in the book helps make the dictionary a complete mathematical reference tool.
