![]() ![]() Legendre - l'-jh-on-dra (the same "luh" as Lebesgue, then a phoneme I can't think of an actual occurence of in English, "on" as in "con" and "dra" as in "drag" (maybe "dru" as in "drag") Tchebychev - Cheb-ee-chev (as Michael_Dagg)ĭirichlet - di-rish-lay ("di" as in "dick", rish rhymes with -ish and lay rhymes with bay - actually, I pronounce it more like Barukh, with an aspirated(?) 'h' but this, in the absence of formal phonetic notation is probably clearer for English/US tongues)ĭirac - dee-rack (dee as in fourth leter of the alphabet, rack as usual - rhymes with stack) Stieltjes - (I don't pronounce this at all) Lebesgue - l'-bayg (the"luh" sound like when you sound out words followed by "bay" with a g on the end) Picard - Pick-ar(d) (like the ST:TNG captain) My variants (those with an * I'm less certain of): Michael, how about these as you did the others I have wondered for a few years if I was saying them right - nope, I wasn't. Same pronounciation as you, accept "us" vs "as". Wasn't it Pythagor as? At least, that's the way I learned it. I have since realized that his pronunciation is closer to the actual than the one I had grown up with. I had a Russian professor in college, and it was always a bit odd to hear him pronounce Pythagorus as "PITH-a-GORE-os" (short vowels except for the first o), where I had always heard it as "pie-THAG-or-us" before.

" - Anonymous The pronunciations I know are the same as Michael's, except I learned Picard as "PI-card" (short i, as in "pit"). It can depend on how the name comes to you as well. Dirichlet : Der-ick-lay, Der rhymes with sir, ick rhymes with pick, lay as in the potato chips.īoldly going where even angels fear to tread. Tchebychev : Cheb-ee-chev, Cheb rhymes with web, ee as in the letter e, chev like a chevy truck without ee.ĥ. Stieltjes Steel-chiz, like the man of steel and chiz that rhymes with wiz (as in mathwiz).Ĥ. Lebesgue: Lee-Beg, like the name Lee and a street beggerģ. Picard : Pa-kard, like the captain on Star Trek.Ģ. I'm sure you can find a lot about this on the Web (and from native speakers, although there is not always an agreement). ![]() I'm not sure, bit here's how I pronounced some so far: I have been reading some math history and was wondering if anyone can write out how to pronounce the following names Topic: Pronunciations2 (Read 17049 times) General problem-solving / chatting / whatever (Moderators: Eigenray, Icarus, ThudnBlunder, Grimbal, SMQ, william wu, towr) RIDDLES SITE WRITE MATH!
