Mathematics-related words and expressions
The parts of the How To Read Maths handout highlighted in yellow are what we expect everybody to know,
i.e. they are compulsory. (It is true that the document is partly written in Japanese, but it doesn`t make it any
less useful). This handout is based on How to read figures, mathematical expressions and equations, and
word glossary. pdf available at http://ese.cc.sophia.ac.jp/ and modified.
If you want further information and practice, you can also look at the Maths Texts handout (pp. 170-172 from
Ardley, Neil. Dictionary of Science. 1st American ed., Dorling Kindersley, 1994.)
If you want to check pronunciation of certain terms and expression, you will find the Mathematical and
scientific symbols site useful.
