Synopsis
All Math Words Dictionary is a dictionary designed for students of pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and intermediate algebra in middle school and high school. It is designed using the four 'C's of math writing:• Concise: Definitions are compact, yet understandable.• Complete: All words and phrases of interest to students of the target classes are included, plus a few just beyond the scope of the target classes. Tables of symbols and notation, formulas, and units of measurement, plus lists of properties of objects give the student all the information needed to understand the concepts and decipher many word problems.• Correct: The definitions have been thoroughly reviewed for mathematical correctness.• Comprehensible: The definitions are written to be understood by students in the target classes. Abundant illustrations aid in understanding.One of the difficulties many students experience in learning math skills has to do with the fact that an entire language has grown up around math. Students that acquire that language are successful in math studies. Students that do not acquire that language have serious problems with mathematics.This dictionary includes:• over 2800 entries• more than 190 mathematical notations defined• in excess of 580 illustrations• greater than 750 formulas, equations and identities• conversion of measures• pronunciation guideThis compact edition has the same content as the other additions. It is typeset in a smaller font, and the illustrations are reduced in size.
