Hi,
I consulted some friends who study Math. We think most of the translations
into simplified Chinese are accurate, except for the term "tableau". We've
only used "tables" and "list of tables" in writing but never "tableau". If
roughly table=tableau, then the existing translation if not accurate.
Well, in English -- mathematical English, anyway, "tableau" is a very
specialized term for certain ways of arranging information in
combinatorics. I don't know any combinatorics, but I've gathered this
over the years. "tables" and "list of tables" more correctly refers to
the more general situation.
