Synopsis

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.
