The language of mathematics often confuses children and it is sometimes difficult for teachers to explain the meaning of mathematical terms simply but accurately.
The fourth edition of this Illustrated Maths Dictionary offers an up-to-date dictionary of maths terms with the addition of a section explaining commonly used computer terms that have mathematical connotations. The definitions are written in simple language that children can understand, yet are clear, precise and concise. The terms are supported by hundreds of examples and illustrations.
This is essentially a dictionary for students, teachers, parents and tertiary students will also find it helpful.
