Here Anthony Lo Bello explains the roots of these and better-known words like asymmetric, gradient, and average. He provides Greek, Latin, and Arabic text in its original form to enhance each explanation. This sophisticated, one-of-a-kind reference for mathematicians and word lovers is based on decades of the author's painstaking research and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrigins of Mathematical Words\u003c\/i\u003e supplies definitions for words such as conchoid (a shell-shaped curve derived from the Greek noun for \"mussel\") and zenith (Arabic for \"way overhead\"), as well as approximation (from the Latin \u003ci\u003eproximus\u003c\/i\u003e, meaning \"nearest\").
