a variety of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, forensic science, marine science,
physics, space and astronomy, and weather and climate.
The Facts On File Dictionary of Mathematics was first published in 1980 and the
third edition was published in 1999. This fourth edition of the dictionary has been
extensively revised and extended. The dictionary now contains over 2,000 headwords
covering the terminology of modern mathematics. A totally new feature of
this edition is the inclusion of over 800 pronunciations for terms that are not in
everyday use. A number of appendixes have been included at the end of the book
containing useful information, including symbols and notation, symbols for physical
quantities, areas and volumes, expansions, derivatives, integrals, trigonometric formulae,
a table of powers and roots, and a Greek alphabet. There is also a list of Web
sites and a bibliography. A guide to using the dictionary has also been added to this
latest version of the book.
