The Indispensable Source of Information for all those who use Mathematics in Their Work... This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive, up-to-date and authoritative mathematics encyclopaedia available today. Translated from the Russian, edited, annotated and updated by about 200 Western mathematicians, all specialists in their respective fields, the 10-volume Encyclopaedia of Mathematics contains nearly 7000 articles together with a wealth of complementary information. Explanations of differences in terminology are of historical interest and help to bridge the gap between Western and Soviet...

This ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF MATHEMATICS aims to be a reference work for all parts of mathe matics. It is a translation with updates and editorial comments of the Soviet Mathematical Encyclopaedia published by 'Soviet Encyclopaedia Publishing House' in five volumes in 1977-1985. The annotated translation consists of ten volumes including a special index volume. There are three kinds of articles in this ENCYCLOPAEDIA. First of all there are survey-type articles dealing with the various main directions in mathematics (where a rather fine subdivi sion has been used). The main requirement for these...
