Advanced Math Glossary

Often the biggest stumbling block for students beginning algebra and other advanced math subjects is the unfamiliar nomenclature, including specialized definitions of what appear to be familiar terms. The advanced math courses offered by Heron books go to some lengths to minimize these difficulties, providing definitions in the texts and glossaries for the courses.The Advanced Math Glossary compiles the glossaries from all of the advanced math courses (including algebra, geometry and trigonometry) into one combined glossary. This makes it a handy resource and cross-reference for students who need to check definitions or refer to formulas from courses other than the one they are on. Many of the definitions in the Advanced Math Glossary are expanded from the course definitions, to make them more understandable when read independent of the course context.In addition to the definitions, the glossary contains other useful references from the courses, such as a list of symbols commonly used in advanced math, various operations and formulas, measurements and conversions data, advanced math discipline guidelines, an interest table, a powers and roots table and a trigonometry table.
