GLOSSARY
This is an alphabetized list of short topics about various aspects of the languages of math. It includes several kinds of entries:
¨ Some technical words in mathematics. A technical word is included if it occurs frequently and has two widely-used meanings or suffers from semantic contamination (marked SC ). Most technical words are not included.
¨ Words such as if, and, and all that are used to communicate the logical structure of math arguments. These are also discussed on the math reasoning page, but all are cross referenced.
¨ Descriptions of many symbols used in the symbolic language and how they are used and pronounced.
Click on the letter to get that section. The letter is blue if the entry exists (but most entries are incomplete), and green if the section does not exist.
