Editorial Reviews

"I have never seen anything even close to this level of breadth. It’s a very thorough and comprehensive source book for mathematical ideas, terminology, definitions, and examples. Math Dictionary with Solutions, 2^nd would be an excellent reference book for instructors of basic mathematics and statistics as well as for non-math majors taking required math and statistics courses."

Paul R. Swank
