A Dictionary of Mathematics by John Glenn

A Dictionary of Mathematics by John Glenn

`This dictionary is one of the best I have come across′ - Mathematics Teaching This dictionary gives a useful account of basic concepts in mathematics (such as number, sum and point); provides brief explanation of standard topics likely to appear in syllabuses (Taylor series, uniform convergence) and is also an informative reference to concepts or ideas likely to be met by students in general reading even if unlikely to be in the required textbooks (Tucker circle, Godell number, verging methods). Prepared in consultation with a panel of advisers and readers (including students) whose experience between them covered the range of use, it gives definitions of about 2,500 terms with about 500 diagrams. Published on behalf of the Mathematical Education Trust.

Cockburn, Anne: - Anne D. Cockburn is a Professor Emeritus in Early Years Education at the University of East Anglia (UEA). She was educated in Edinburgh before reading Psychology at the University of St Andrews. Subsequently, she trained to be a primary teacher and taught in Scotland. In 1979, she became a Research Fellow at the University of Lancaster, working with Neville Bennett and Charles Desforges. Her PhD was completed in 1986 at the UEA. Following a period of working as a researcher, she took up her first lectureship at UEA in 1989. She became an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society in 1994. Initially Anne′s teaching focused on pre-service teacher education (BA and PGCE), gradually extending to in-service courses (BPhil and MA) and research (PhD and EdD). Throughout, she continued with her own research, with many of the catalysts for her investigations stemming from the needs and interests of professional practitioners and those with whom they work. More recently, she also started working with MA counselling students. Anne has examined doctoral theses, undergraduate and postgraduate courses at universities across the United Kingdom, Australia and Norway. She was a member of the Economic and Social Research Council Board of Examiners for studentships (2002-2005).
