SOME FEATURES OF THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MATHEMATICAL TEXTS

The article provides examples when a dilemma appears in the translation of a mathematical text. There are cases where the English word has a variety of meanings in the Ukrainian language, and vice versa, for the translation from Ukrainian to English, there is also a controversy due to the understanding of the context. It is explored that scientific and mathematical texts require precise translation using the corresponding lexical equivalents in the language of translation. Examples of ambiguous translations are shown, and it is shown that for the correct translation one needs to understand not only the meaning but also the context. It is shown that a significant role in mathematical literature is played by words that create logical connections between individual elements of statements. It is shown that all texts of a mathematical nature have the following features: clear and brief nature of the presentation, logical sequence of information, unambiguousness and concreteness in the treatment of facts. It is proved that the translator working with the mathematical text must take into account some features of the translation and must deal not only with questions linguistics and in mathematical disciplines, but also to understand mathematical terminology, to be able to work with information sources.
