Etymology of Some Mathematical Terms

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the history of origin and etymology of some mathematical terms that have identical to the usual things names in natural languages. The research was conducted through analysis of literature, related scientific papers. The terms for study were taken from the field of abstract algebra, some of the terms are technical and used in the whole math. The explanation of the etymology of the terms allows getting deeper into the related area of mathematics, to increase level of the subject understanding and mathematical intuition. The research may be useful to students majoring in mathematics and linguistics.
