The entry of “Mathematics” in great encyclopedias along with introducing some mathematics encyclopedias
Encyclopedias are reference books or books providing summaries for all branches of human knowledge or a particular one. Entries of encyclopedias are much more different than those of dictionaries. Encyclopedic entries are arranged alphabetically by names or by categories. Encyclopedias have a long history, even more than 2000 years which have evolved considerably. Digital and open source versions have also developed vastly. The first aim of this paper is to investigate the famous international encyclopedias, namely; Americana, Britannica, BSE, and in particular, Da'eratolmaa'ref-e Farsi (Mosaheb) to review the entry of “Mathematics” and inspect the development of this subject and its applications in other disciplines. In the second part, our aim is to examine some of the encyclopedias of mathematics, two of them subjected to applied mathematics. In particular, we introduce the Encyclopedias of Mathematics in details, those that are translated into Farsi by Iranian mathematicians.
