multilingual dictionary of mathematical terminology

Maths Dictionary

As part of an ongoing project on categorical translation, I'm organising an open-source multilingual dictionary of mathematical terminology. You can see the live website version at https://thosgood.com/maths-dictionary/ .

Todo

• show gender
• add an initial column with refs data (automatically href'd etc)
• support for multiple atoms
  • e.g. regional variations, or just synonyms
• a way to inherit adjectives from another entry!
  • e.g. give a list of hashes of adjectives that "group" should inherit from "ring"
• search should also search through adjectives
• LTR/RTL information should be used when displaying adjectives!
  • should also be reflected in text-align in the css
• add plurals of nouns (and thus adjectives)
  • will also need cases... (for e.g. DE)
• think about verbs...
• auto sort EN on load
• link each entry (incl. adjectives) to a wikidata tag
  • any other useful sources?
    • MathWorld and Encyclopedia of Mathematics
• get language selectors in index.html from the language .json files
  • should get endonyms from there too
