<strong>Mathematics</strong> <strong>Pronunciation</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>A Megametamathematical <strong>Guide</strong> of the Proper American English <strong>Pronunciation</strong> of Terms andNamesfor the for the Diacritally Challenged,This guide includes most mathematicians and mathematical terms that may been encountered in high schooland the first two years of college. Proper names are generally pronounced as in the original language.Some entries are obscure and may be useful only in a game of mathematical trivia, e. g. d'Alembert'smother, the name of the line in a fraction, or who shot Galois.I have not had the time to include most definitions or accomplishments. The curious person may try searchingthe internet for such information. However I have given a few, they are indicated with Move the curser to thesymbol and wait a second.Dates include B.C. or A.D. only if the choice is not obvious from the context.The <strong>Guide</strong> is not complete, I will be adding more pronunciations and entries as time permits. (I did notgive up my day job.)(The red dates and purple pronunciations are not links.)Please let me know about any errors. I have tried to find at least two references for each item but sometimeswas not able to do so. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Any help with missing dates and pronunciations willalso be welcomed.The views and opinions expressed in this page are strictly those of the page author.

Consult a fluent speaker of the appropriatelanguage for the proper pronunciation.[oe] as in French feu or German SchönN is a nasal n as in French bonR is a rolled r[ue] as in French tu or German überKH as in Scottish Loch or German ichPrimary stress is indicated with 'before the stressed syllable.A secondary stress is indicated with ,before the stressed syllable.Italics are used for titles, "nonenglish" words are not marked.Since English does not contain some sounds from other languages and because I am tryingto keep this relatively simple the pronunciations are sometimes only approximate, but, it ishoped, within epsilon.The bar separating the <strong>Guide</strong> from these notes is movable if you prefer to make this windowsmaller.
