Do you ever wonder about the origins of mathematical terms such as ergodic, biholomorphic, and strophoid? Here Anthony Lo Bello explains the roots of these and better-known words like asymmetric, gradient, and average. He provides Greek, Latin, and Arabic text in its original form to enhance each explanation. This sophisticated, one-of-a-kind reference for mathematicians and word lovers is based on decades of the author's painstaking research and work. Origins of Mathematical Words supplies definitions for words such as conchoids (a shell-shaped curve derived from the Greek noun for "mussel") and zenith (Arabic for "way overhead"), as well as approximation (from the Latin proximus, meaning "nearest"). These and hundreds of other terms wait to be discovered within the pages of this mathematical and etymological treasure chest.

La statistique joue un rôle de tout premier plan dans d’innombrables domaines, en sciences pures comme en sciences appliquées: des mathématiques à la physique, de la chimie à la biologie ou de l’économie à la sociologie, c’est un outil devenu indispensable. Pour avoir un accès pratique et rapide aux concepts et aux méthodes de la statistique, la formule la plus efficace est celle du dictionnaire: qu’il soit consulté ponctuellement ou bien utilisé dans le cadre d’une recherche approfondie, cet ouvrage contient l’information nécessaire - mieux, il procure plusieurs degrés d’explication adaptés à chaque besoin. À chaque entrée correspondent un historique de la notion traitée, des explications mathématiques, des domaines de validité et limitations, des exemples et des mots clés avec leur équivalent en anglais. La biographie de nombreux chercheurs illustres invite à suivre l’évolution de la statistique de ses débuts jusqu’à la période contemporaine, où elle a atteint sa pleine maturité. Un système de renvois permet de prolonger l’explication des termes considérés et d’acquérir une vue d’ensemble de chaque sujet étudié. Instrument de travail, ce dictionnaire est aussi un livre de référence pour qui veut connaître le langage et les méthodes d’une science en constante évolution et toujours sollicitée par les développements de l’actualité.

Descrição: Darling, who has written books about astronomy and science for young adults, has followed the successful formula found in his Universal Book of Astronomy (Wiley, 2004), to compile an encyclopedia of mathematical terms, concepts, and problems; short biographies of pioneering mathematicians; puzzles; diagrams; pictures; and history. Entries cover subjects ranging from the fairly simple (arithmetic) to the more complex (Cabali-Yau space). The goal is to present "the unusual and the outrageous, the fanciful and the fantastic: a compendium of the mathematics they didn't teach you in school." To this end, the book treats numerous topics one would not expect to find in more academic math dictionaries--illusions, classic chess problems, the 1884 novel Flatland, to give a few examples.
Entries are alphabetized and thoroughly cross-referenced. Some are as brief as a single sentence (for example, Congruent, Nonagon), while others are a page or more (Maze, Pi). The writing is accessible and provides enough information to assist the reader in understanding the term being described. An impressive list of references used to compile the entries is included at the end of the volume, along with the solutions to the mathematical puzzles referred to in the text. This resource would be appropriate for high-school, public, and academic libraries and could be considered a basic tool in this subject.
