Geometry Dictionary/Reference? (solved)

edited April 2009 in Help / Advice Forum
Does anyone know of a good Geometry/Mathematics text that I'd be able to cite for the definition of a cylinder? Standard dictionaries (New American Heritage, Websters) include mathematic definitions, but I feel like citing some mathematics text specifically will carry a little more weight.

Odd request, I know. Thanks in advance.

    CRC Math Handbook

    I think Machinery's Handbook has them too

    Awesome! thanks. Hopefully one of them won't be too hard to find in the library.

    Sadly, 361 is excluded from the google preview.

    I was looking at it. Don't do whatever you were doing, use my link and click on 4.15 in the table of contents.

    Edit: Just clicked it again, it works fine.

    both of those should be in any decent college/city library

    and if you're going to be doing lots of math/materials/engineering lookups they're both essential during university and as reference texts while you're working

    I honestly can't understand why you can't see it when I can.
