For the 2021 edition the author has again revised a large part of the vocabulary, further enhanced the consistent treatment of terminological systems (synonyms, antonyms, hyponyms, hyperonyms, cross-references), significantly increased the number of explanatory notes, updated the vocabulary on the basis of very recent books, journals, and technical articles in the daily press, and added another 12,000 entries.
The Dictionary of Exact Science and Technology is the ideal tool for anyone involved in English-German technical translation on a high professional level.
