In academia, there are cases, such as "Bernoulli's principle," "Bernoulli's theorem," and "Bernoulli's equation," where the same phenomenon is described using different terms depending on the discipline. By contrast, there are instances where completely different phenomena in different fields happen to be described using the same term. One of the joys of using this dictionary is that, thanks to its cross-disciplinary content, it allows you to discover such instances.
