Online pronunciation of mathematicians names

709 Views Asked by At

I self study mathematics. Since I don't attend lectures and learn by reading books, it happens frequently that I read names of mathematicians that I am not sure of how they should be pronounced. Is there an online resorce that provides pronunciation of mathematicians names ?

Thank you

Wkipedia sometimes has an online pronunciation of their name to listen to. If they have a wikipedia article that is.

This site may be what you are looking for, at least for mostly non-contemporary mathematicians.

I thought about it for a while. There are three things you can do-

(1) Look up the where the person is from on wikipedia, then put his or her name in google translate, set the language accordingly and then hit listen. It works out quite often.

(2) Frovo claims to be largest pronunciation guide in the world. The pronunciation for Saharon Shelah is not availaible on google translate but it's on this site.

(3) Look up sites similar to Frovo. Also, if you can't find the pronunciation of a particular name, you can break it down, and then look it up. A famous person might share the same surname or the first name.
