The Dictionary covers higher mathematics: algebra, set theory, complex numbers, analytic geometry of the plane and space, linear algebra, differential and integral calculus, differential equations, differential geometry, probability theory, vector analysis, functional analysis. Terms are listed in alphabetical order, printed in bold face. The guiding principle for term selection is their importance in the mathematical branches, the frequency of their use in mathematical textbooks, the authors' experience and routine. Notions and collocations are followed by concise explanations and illustrations (where they help understanding). A network of cross-references is included. An asterisk placed after a word used in an entry indicates that this word can be looked up in the Dictionary and will provide additional information. Theorems, results and formulas are included in the exposition. A list of commonly used symbols with their explanation is given. The Dictionary is readable, well-organized and precise. It is an indispensable help for students, scientists and professional in pure and applied mathematics.
