书籍简介

这本内容丰富的《A to Z》有4000多个条目，为各种数学术语提供了清晰、无术语的定义。其条目涵盖了纯数学和应用数学，并包括关键理论、概念、方法、方案、人物和术语。

在第六版中，约有800个新术语被定义，扩大了词典对代数、微分几何、代数几何、表示理论和统计等主题的覆盖面。在这些新材料中，有一些文章，如心算、第一基本形式、拉格朗日定理、纳维尔-斯托克斯方程、势和分裂场。现有的条目也进行了修订和更新，以考虑到该领域的发展。

众多的补充功能补充了文本，包括关于基本代数、面积和体积、三角公式和罗马数字的详细附录。这些部分新增加了重要数学家生活和关键定理出现的历史年表。全文还有插图、图表，以及有用的网络链接，以提供进一步的阅读机会。

With over 4,000 entries, this informative A to Z provides clear, jargon-free definitions on a wide variety of mathematical terms. Its entries cover both pure and applied mathematics, and include key theories, concepts, methods, programmes, people, and terminology.

For this sixth edition, around 800 new terms have been defined, expanding on the dictionary's coverage of topics such as algebra, differential geometry, algebraic geometry, representation theory, and statistics. Among this new material are articles such as cardinal arithmetic, first fundamental form, Lagrange's theorem, Navier-Stokes equations, potential, and splitting field. The existing entries have also been revised and updated to account for developments in the field.

Numerous supplementary features complement the text, including detailed appendices on basic algebra, areas and volumes, trigonometric formulae, and Roman numerals. Newly added to these sections is a historical timeline of significant mathematicians lives and the emergence of key theorems. There are also illustrations, graphs, and charts throughout the text, as well as useful web links to provide access to further reading.
