I have two:

   (1) The Peguin Dictionary of Mathematics, Edited by J. Daintith and R. D.
       Nelson, Penguin Reference, 1989, 350 pages, $8.95.

   (2) A Concise Oxford Dictionary of Mathematics, C. Clapham, Oxford Paperback
       Reference, 1990, 200 pages, $7.95.

They are both in paperback. I personally think that book (1) is much *much*
better than book (2). You can probably get these in any bookstore that has a
reasonable sized technical section.
