For many students, learning mathematics is like learning a foreign language and it can be difficult for the teacher to explain the meaning of mathematical terms in simple but accurate language. This dictionary overcomes that problem. It defines all the math terms that students in Australian schools are likely to meet, in simple language and without losing accuracy. Definitions are supported and reinforced by diagrams and illustrations. In this third edition, approximately 100 additional terms are defined and the reference section at the back of the book has been updated.
Authoritative and reliable, this A-Z provides jargon-free definitions for even the most technical mathematical terms. With over 3,000 entries ranging from Achilles paradox to zero matrix, it covers all commonly encountered terms and concepts from pure and applied mathematics and statistics, for example, linear algebra, optimisation, nonlinear equations, and differential equations. In addition, there are entries on major mathematicians and on topics of more general interest, such as fractals, game theory, and chaos. Using graphs, diagrams, and charts to render definitions as comprehensible as possible, entries are clear and accessible. Almost 200 new entries have been added to this edition, including terms such as arrow paradox, nested set, and symbolic logic. Useful appendices follow the A-Z dictionary and include lists of Nobel Prize winners and Fields' medallists, Greek letters, formulae, and tables of inequalities, moments of inertia, Roman numerals, a geometry summary, additional trigonometric values of special angles, and many more. This edition contains recommended web links, which are accessible and kept up to date via the Dictionary of Mathematics companion website. Fully revised and updated in line with curriculum and degree requirements, this dictionary is indispensable for students and teachers of mathematics, and for anyone encountering mathematics in the workplace.

The new Mathematics General syllabus describes two pathways that start in Year 11. Even though both pathways share a common Preliminary course, students taking each pathway have specific learning needs, so we have published two levels of text for both Years 11 and 12. First published in 2001 and revised in 2010, this book has been revised again for the new Mathematics General course beginning in NSW in 2013. This book caters for the Mathematics General 2 HSC course in Year 12, an updated version of the General Mathematics course. It is designed for students heading towards an HSC exam, an ATAR and university studies. This book includes access to the NelsonNet portal of resources and an interactive NelsonNetBook.

Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. It is a revolutionary work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic.
