Research on Standardization of Mathematical Terms

本研究项目的目的是双重的：首先调查数学术语在物理、工程等各个科学领域的使用方式，然后制定数学术语的标准，以便为作者编写与数学相关的科学领域的教科书提供一切可能的便利。《数学科学术语》第一版出版于1954年，目前得到了广泛的发行量。另一方面，在这40年里，数学不断进步，并在各个科学领域得到了良好的发展和应用。现在，根据数学题材的现代用途重新整理数学题材，并从数学、物理、工程等各个领域收集新的知识是必不可少的。本课题的研究小组在日本数学学会的广泛合作下，在日本数学教育学会和日本工业应用数学学会的几名成员的投入下，一直在集中精力研究这一课题。我们已经完成了调查，并获得了数学术语表。该清单包含1万多个词汇，由两部词典词典组成：日语-英语词典和英语-日语词典。我们将我们的结果以印刷品和数据库的形式公开。《数学术语》的最终版本将在各个领域的科学家调查后出版。

The Aim of this research project is double ; we investigate firstly manners of usage of Mathematical terms in various scientific fields such as Physics, Engineering and so on, and then make a standard of Mathematical terms, for the purpose of providing every convenience possible for authors writeing down textbooks in scientific fields related to Mathematics.The first edition of the Scientific terms on Mathematics was published 1954 and has been obtaining wide circulation. On the othor hand, during this 40 years, Mathematics are advancing themselves and moreover developing favorably and coming into force in various Scientific fields. Now it is absolutely indispensable to rearrange Mathematical tems according to their modern usage and glean new ons from various fields, such as Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and so on.The group of the investigators of this research project has been concentrating and studying on this subject under the sweeping cooperation of the Mathematical Society of Japan and with the devotion fo several menbers of the Society of Mathematical Education and of the Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. We have completed the investigation and obtained the list of Mathematical terms. The list contains more than 10,000 terms and consists of the two lexicographic dictionaries : Japanese-English and English-Japanese. We make our results public as a printed matter and a database. The final version of Mathematical terms will be published after investigation by scientists of various fields.
