I wouldn’t say I’m mathematically minded! Literature etc I’m more than happy to get involved in but maths is a No No!! I’ve always found anything more than arithmetic difficult to comprehend which makes things harder when my daughter gets stuck on maths homework!This Mathematics Dictionary has become very helpful, it has an explanation of every mathematical problem with straightforward meanings and diagrams. It’s in alphabetical order so all terms can be easily found. The dictionary is designed for secondary school age students up to GCSE level. Undoubtedly it’s helpful for revision and turning too when work comes home from school. It’s an at home aid to understanding the vast range of mathematical terms. I’ve always turned to the Oxford English Dictionary for word meanings - this dictionary is the equivalent for Mathematical meanings.

This book is a great tool for Senior School students. It is full of information which they can access at a glance; just look the word up in the Dictionary - there is an easy access A-Z section to find what you are looking for with an easy to understand explanation for each topic.The Contents of the cover:-An introductionHow to use this dictionaryA Quick Reference covering everything you need to know from "Formulas for Shapes"to "S.I.

This is a really well put together mathematics dictionary. Don't mistake it for a textbook - some of the words and concepts are far beyond what would be needed in school. But don't let that put you off - for a keen mathematician, this will allow them to read beyond their textbook and lessons and start to understand the broader world of maths.Recommended.

This guide is really comprehensive with over 1000 words/phrases explained. It is really clearly presented with good explanations of mathematical terms and where appropriate formulas. At the front of the book there is a quick reference guide for shapes, symbols and conversion. This will be really useful for helping my son with his maths now he is at secondary school.
