From the Publisher
Some sample entries:
BISECT
To divide into two equal parts. For instance, bisection of an angle involves drawing a line through the vertex that cuts the angle in half. A point, line, plane, etc. that bisects something is a bisector.
The point that bisects the line segment joining two other points is called their midpoint. If their position vectors are a and b, the midpoint has position vector ½ (a + b).
SHANKS, WILLIAM (1812-82)
English mathematician noted for his calculation in 1873 of the first 707 places of Pi. It was shown in 1946 that he made a mistake and that the values from the 528th position were incorrect.
COMBINATORICS
The branch of mathematics involved in the study of discrete objects - those where continuity plays no role. Enumeration and graph theory are important examples of areas of combinatorics. The topic has applications in many branches of science, especially computer science.
