Abstract

El tecnicismo matemático (Madrid, 1873) writing by Felipe Picatoste represents a comprehensive review of the mathematical vocabulary that contains the eleventh edition of the Diccionario de la lengua castellana (DRAE, 1869). In the first part of his work are provided the reasons why the mathematical terms used by mathematicians for centuries must be incorporated into
the dictionary. Our aim is to examine the observations and reflections which Picatoste displays about the scientific language in his work, firstly, and to analyze, afterwards, the catalogues of voices which he collected in the remaining parts with the purpose of that these terms were included by the Academy in the nomenclature of its dictionary.
