Abstract
This dictionary covers both computer science and mathematics. Selection of the terms was based either on their significance or on their frequency of use according to authoritative encyclopedia, dictionaries or textbooks. The modern developments and contemporary changes in terminology have been included, as well as recently established terms. Computer science terminology covers the theory of algorithms, programming languages, program development methods, data and file structures, operating systems, computer architecture, hardware, communications, information technology, system and application software, microprogramming, etc. The mathematical terminology embraces all the major branches from elementary to advanced subjects: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, set theory, discrete mathematics, logic, linear algebra, matrix algebra, calculus, differential equations, numerical methods, mathematical programming, modern algebra, computer algebra, category theory, applied mathematics, theory of automata and formal languages, theory of games, Boolean algebra, theory of graphs and so on.
