Acknowledgements

I am indebted to the following works of reference for words and definitions:

The Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Geometry -- David Wells

The Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers -- David Wells

Longman Mathematics Handbook -- Keith Selkirk

Penguin Dictionary of Mathematics -- David Nelson (Ed.)

The Oxford English Dictionary -- John Simpson (Chief Ed.)

Each of these is warmly recommended as a source for further information about many of the words at thesaurus.maths.org. Any errors or omissions are entirely my own responsibility.

Any apparent plagiarism is never intentional, and I would be happy to rephrase anything that is felt to be too close to a given text.
