A handsome math dictionary!!??,
By
This review is from: The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Math (Illustrated Dictionaries) (Paperback)
Something must be wrong with me--thanks to this book, I am an artist who is somehow enjoying browsing through a dictionary about MATH concepts!
I bought this book to help my 4th grade son who is very visual. There aren't as many illustrations as I'd hoped, but I guess you can only do so much visually with math! We received the book yesterday, and referred to it 3 times during the course of his homework that afternoon. Although very brief, the concepts we needed were clearly explained. There is a lot of information inside that appears to go way beyond 4th grade, so I imagine that the book will be helpful for some time to come. I remember searching frantically for the definition of "array" earlier this year. It isn't in this book, nor are Roman Numerals. But I'm still glad that I got the book because now math looks a little more interesting to my son because it is presented so colorfully. I think this has helped his attitude toward math a bit. (Having no practice problems to solve also improves his attitude toward this book!) For us, this book is not only very pleasing to look at, it's also been helpful so far. (Our math priorities are obviously skewed!)

Excellent Precalculus Summary,

This review is from: The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Math (Illustrated Dictionaries) (Paperback)
Although this is not what I would define as a math dictionary, it is an excellent book. It has wonderfully short and clear explanations of most of the precalculus topics, plus good examples. I haven't been able to find another book that is so complete and concise. I am using it to review for the Praxis II Mathematics exam and I am very happy I bought it. However, if you need a true college/high school math dictionary try the "HarperCollins Dictionary of Mathematics" or use Wikipedia.

This review is from: The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Math (Illustrated Dictionaries) (Paperback)
I was just glancing through this book today and found an error that stuck out. Watch out on page 58; "volume of a triangular prism" (1/2 x 3x2)x5 answer should be 15cm3, not 5cm3.
I have not double checked the whole book yet, just letting you know to watch out, there might be more typos. Love the book otherwise, beautiful colors and nice graphics. GJ.
