I forgot to mention: the toy math vocabulary covers most of Ed's
remaining list:
> Geometric Quantities: (separate namespace?)
> projections (ie mercator etc)
> region
> area
Area
> circle
Circle
> greate circle
Great_Circle
> boundary
> conic section
Conic_Section
> spheroid
Spheroid
> sphere
Sphere
> oblate spheroid
Oblate_Spheroid
> prolate spheroid
Prolate_Spheroid
> parabola
Parabola
> hyperbola
Hyperbola
> square
Square
> radius
Radius_of_a_Circle_or_Sphere
> diameter
Diameter
>
> General Unit Dimensions: (separate namespace?)
> height
Height
> width
Width
> length
Length
> area
Area
> volume
Volume
> mass density
As you can tell from some of the names, this isn't the official international mathematical vocabulary, which doesn't seem to exist in this form. There are, however, monster library classification schemes listed at the AMS site which will send shivers down your neck:
