Mastering Mathematics By O. PerryEnglish | PDF | 1982 | 399 Pages | ISBN : 03333104381 | 19.7 MB
In writing this book, we have assumed that you know at least the counting numbers and the addition and multiplication tables up to 9 by 9. The language of mathematics contains a number of specialised words, and the seare printed in italics the first time they occur in the text. Some of the mare new words, such as logarithm, calculus, cosine, which have been inven-ted by mathematicians in the past; others are ordinary English words suchas operation, which have a special meaning in mathematics. While it is not essential to your understanding of the subject, the use of the correct words and symbols makes communication between mathematicians easier, and it is worthwhile trying to learn the language.
