Russian-English Dictionary of Statistical Terms and Expressions and Russian Reader in Statistics

Today, almost all Russian-language mathematical journals are translated into English; however, there remains an interest in and demand for the original Russian scientific literature. This volume fulfills a need by scientists and translators for a dictionary with current terminology in probability theory, mathematical statistics, combinatorics, and their applications. Borovkov's dictionary, which is the only one that translates from Russian to English and English to Russian in these subject areas, will help specialists to read and understand Russian- language texts covering these topics. It is especially useful because it contains entries related to developments that have occurred in probability, statistics, and combinatorics over the past three decades. Each half of the dictionary contains approximately 7,500 terms and expressions, as well as the spelling of many names that appear in scientific and technical literature.

How to Find Out in Mathematics: A Guide to Sources of Information, Second Revised Edition presents updated topics about probability and statistics, dictionaries and encyclopedias, computing, and mathematical education. The book discusses the modifications of the content of professional actuarial examinations; the assimilation of modern mathematics into the school curriculum; and the establishment of government departments to administer financial support for mathematical research. The text also describes the efforts to improve communication between mathematicians (i.e. the inception of the Mathematical Offprint Service and the publication of Contents of Contemporary Mathematical Journals by the American Mathematical Society). People who are studying, teaching, or applying mathematics will find the book helpful.

Hardbound. Statistics is one of the significant and rapidly developing areas of modern science, followed by the rapid growth of statistical terminology. The present dictionary differs from existing dictionaries in the field by focusing on a broader concept of modern statistics as a comprehensive scientific domain. Topics covered include mathematical statistics and probability theory as a methodological basis, computational statistics and statistical software as an instrumental basis, and comprehensive applied components in economics, sociology, demography, medicine, natural sciences, and technology. The volume provides an extensive collection of terms in the fields of computer terminology connected with problems of data processing and statistical software, theory of random processes, statistical quality control, operations research, and some supplementary areas such as the terminology of Russian official statistics.As the dicitionary presents the large
