The book is designed to provide you with dictionaries of terms in maths. The terms have been arranged alphabetically for quick reference. Suitable explanations of terms that have come into public domain recently also find mention. The standard of explanation has been kept at a level of understanding expected from an average secondary and senior secondary student. Illustrations and examples, at appropriate places, have been given. A glossary of Nobel Prize winners and their contributions is an added attraction. #v&spublishers
