Features: This dictionary contains 2,800 entries, explaining some of the most frequently used terms in the aforementioned disciplines with concise and precise language. Most of these terms were already included in the second edition of the dictionary, but this edition also incorporates over 800 additional terms not present in the second edition. Furthermore, many entries from the second edition have been revised. The principle for selecting terms is based on their importance in a specific field, highlighting their specific meanings within that field, which are often not listed in other dictionaries. The purpose of this dictionary is to make the definitions clear and easy to understand, using non-technical language to clearly present the fundamental meanings of the terms. Each entry is as self-contained as possible, but some also include cross-references to explore the relationships between the entry and other terms and concepts.
