A Mathematical Atlas
I prefer the Handbook of Mathematics by Bronstein, which is a math reference bible for most science students in Germany.http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Mathematics-I-N-Bronshtein/dp...
⬐ weinzierlThe Bronstein is awesome and it has a fantastic index but I wouldn't call it a dictionary. Moreover it's far from comprehensive regarding to mathematics because it contains mostly topics relevant for engineering, physics and economics.Vieweg Mathematik Lexikon is good, but in German. There must be something similar in English.

Why there is no Hitchhiker’s Guide to Mathematics for Programmers
Bronstein/Semendjajew’s Handbook of Mathematics[0] is something close to what you envision. It’s helpful if you just need to look up a given formulae and understand the larger picture, but it will be incomprehensible if you don’t know at least some maths. Note that the HHGTG, while giving you some information about planets, will be useless unless you know something about hitchhiking, too: Like the Bronstein, it gives you bits and pieces to remember parts of the larger picture, but it doesn’t give the larger picture to you.[0] http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Mathematics-I-N-Bronshtein/dp... (apparently without an English Wikipedia article)
