From the Publisher

Professional mathematicians define succinctly but rigorously mathematical terms that are crucial to good scientific and technical writing. They try to make each definition independent, and though some article hopping is inevitable, there is little cross-referencing. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
