Authoritative and reliable, this A-Z provides jargon-free definitions for even the most technical mathematical terms. With 3,000 entries ranging from Achilles paradox to zero matrix, it covers all commonly encountered terms and concepts from pure and applied mathematics and statistics, for example, linear algebra, optimisation, nonlinear equations, and differential equations. In addition, there are entries on major mathematicians and on topics of more general interest, such as fractals, game theory, and chaos. Using graphs, diagrams, and charts to render definitions as comprehensible as possible, entries are clear and accessible and offer an ideal introduction to the subject. Useful appendices follow the A-Z dictionary and include lists of Nobel Prize winners and Fields' medallists, Greek letters, formulae, and - new to this edition - tables of inequalities, moments of inertia, Roman numerals, and more. This edition contains recommended web links at entry level, which are accessible and kept up to date via the Dictionary of Mathematics companion website. Fully revised and updated in line with curriculum and degree requirements this dictionary is indispensable for students and teachers of mathematics, and for anyone encountering mathematics in the workplace.

There's a better one

I find this reference book a little disappointing. While not a bad book, it's not comprehensive enough and explanations are (in many cases) too concise. If you don't already know the meaning of the term you're looking up, chances are you won't understand it after reading the item. I also purchased the Harper Collins Dictionary of Mathematics, and here are the good news - it's much better than the Oxford. Much more comprehensive and more readable. It's not perfect either, but if you're going to have only one of these, I recommend the Harper Collins.

A good source for succinct definitions of many core terms and concepts, but limited in scope.

Format:Broché
This dictionary is nicely suited for its purpose, i.e., a relatively compact presentation of core terms and concepts. Although this edition is approximately 150 pages longer than the previous edition, its still relatively compact when compared to full size mathematics dictionaries. While not as comprehensive as larger volumes (e.g., the excellent but older Mathematics Dictionary by James and James), this dictionary often provides more concise definitions then its cohorts.
Its smaller size means its often quicker to find the terms you want here than in a larger dictionary, and its also a plus if you travel frequently, as it more easily fits into a carry bag or computer case. Its primary weakness is its lack of more comprehensive coverage, occasionally, lacking definitions of even some basic terms.
Having more than one mathematics dictionary can provide different perspectives. Thus, although this cannot be recommended as the 'one' mathematics dictionary to own, it can be recommended for use with other dictionaries as a good alternate source for concise definitions.

Disappointing Kindle version

The Kindle version of this book is very disappointing. As a reference book, it is virtually useless due to the lack of way to directly find and access the definitions. At a minimum, it needs an alphabetical index page that takes you to a particular word, term or phrase quickly and efficiently. Without this, the search function returns all instances where the word occurs thus making it very difficult to find the information desired. I hope future versions can improve on this.
