Thread: Math

Im trying to do, perhaps, the most useless thing on the planet. Learn all the math terminology. If you would kindly look over this, I would be forever greatful. Thanks!

14 divided by 2 eqauls 7 - "14 разделилось на 2 будет 7"

9 is divisible by 3 - "9 разделяется на 3"

4 times 3 is 12 - "4 умножено на 3 будет 12"

4 plus 7 is 11 - "4 плюс 7 будет 11"

11 minus 7 is 4 - "11 минус 7 будет 4"

4 squared is 16 - "4 в квадрате будет 16"

2 cubed is 8 -"2 в кубе будет 8"

The square root of 9 is 3 - "квадратный корень 9 (should nine be in genetive here..девяти?) будет 3"

The cubed root of 27 is 3 - "кубический корень 27 (again..in genetive?) будет 3"

I have seen "equals" translated as many things; "равно", "равняется", "будет", and just simply a dash. Does it matter which you use?

More terminology:

Radical Sign - знак корня
Exponent - экспонент
Denominator - знаменатель
Numerator - числитель
Radicand - подкоренное выражение
Divisor - делитель
Dividend - делимое
Variable - переменная
Perfect square - квадрат простого числа
Perfect cube - куб простого числа
Quadratic Equation - квадратное уравнение
Coefficient - коэффициент
LCD - наименьший общий знаменатель
GCF - наибольший множитель

Are these the best translations of the words? I just wanna make sure I understand everything.

Once again, thanks for any help!

14 делить (or разделить) на 2 будет 7

9 is divisible by 3 - "9 разделяется на 3"

9 делится на 3

4 times 3 is 12 - "4 умножено на 3 будет 12"

4 умножить (or помножить) на 3 будет 12

4 plus 7 is 11 - "4 плюс 7 будет 11"

Your variant is correct, or you can say "4 прибавить 7 будет 11"

11 minus 7 is 4 - "11 минус 7 будет 4"

Your variant is correct, or you can say "11 отнять 7 будет 4"

4 squared is 16 - "4 в квадрате будет 16"

Correct.

2 cubed is 8 -"2 в кубе будет 8"

Correct.

The square root of 9 is 3 - "квадратный корень 9 (should nine be in genetive here..девяти?) будет 3"

Квадратный корень из девяти будет 3.

The cubed root of 27 is 3 - "кубический корень 27 (again..in genetive?) будет 3"

Кубический корень из 27 (yes, in genitive: двадцати семи) будет 3

And one last thing...I have seen "equals" translated as many things; "равно", "равняется", "будет", and just simply a dash. Does it matter which you use?

I think they're equal.

Exponent - экспонент

экспонента

Yes, these are the best translations.

omg that was fast. YOU RULE! Thanks!

Oh, I'm happy to remember so easy mathematics! I'm studing Hilbert spaces and complex functions in my university, and it's such a hard and boring thing!

I dont think math is boring..in fact...i kinda have a degree in mathematics.... (such a nerd, I know)

I was just sitting here thinking about math (cuz thats what nerds do) and I started thinking that I didnt know ANYTHING about it in Russian. So I asked here, the all-knowing MasterRussian.net forum. And sure enough I got an answer...and a good one at that! Thanks again.
