All Math Words Dictionary

<p>All Math Words Dictionary is designed for students of pre-algebra algebra geometry intermediate algebra pre-calculus and calculus in middle school and high school. It is designed using the four 'C's of math writing:</p><ol><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><strong>Concise:</strong> Definitions are compact yet understandable.</li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><strong>Complete:</strong> All words and phrases of interest to targeted students are included plus a few just beyond the scope of the target classes.</li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><strong>Correct:</strong> The definitions have been thoroughly reviewed for mathematical and literary correctness.</li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><strong>Comprehensible:</strong> The definitions are written to be understood by targeted students. Abundant illustrations aid in understanding.</li></ol><p>One of the difficulties many students experience in learning math skills has to do with the fact that an entire language both spoken and written has grown up around math. Students that acquire that language are successful in math studies. Students that do not acquire that language have serious problems with mathematics. This dictionary is designed to aid in the acquisition of the language of math.</p><p>This dictionary has:</p><ol><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>over 3600 entries</li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>more than 200 notations defined</li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>in excess of 1300 illustrations</li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>IPA pronunciation guide</li><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>greater than 1400 formulas equations examples identities and expressions.</li></ol><p>While teaching high school math the author David E. McAdams noted that some students did not understand even simple math statements such as This equation is determinate. Those students who had not acquired a basic math vocabulary were left behind becoming frustrated and mentally dropping out of class. This dictionary was carefully crafted. The result of this extensive effort is <em>All Math Words Dictionary</em> an important tool for math teachers and students. This book is available in four different editions:</p><ol><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><strong>Color Classroom edition</strong> - typeset in 14-point Times New Roman font and with larger color illustrations.
