SPED Science and Technology English-Japanese Dictionary

Shogakukan, Inc.

  • Jpn
  • Eng

The SPED series consists of English-Japanese dictionaries compiled for people in the field of sciences, offering comprehensive coverage of newly-minted technical terms that have appeared as a result of rapid scientific developments in recent years, along with extensive usage examples.

Two volumes—EOS (Life Sciences) and TERRA (Materials Science and Engineering)—of the three-volume SPED series are combined in this special online edition, which focuses on scientific terms by excluding general terms that are included in the printed volumes.

EOS (Life Sciences) includes terms used in all fields of the life sciences from biology and genetics to medical science and anatomy, as well as from zoology and botany to bacteriology and virology. TERRA (Materials Science and Engineering) covers terms not only from mathematics, physics and chemistry but also from such fields as electronic engineering, information and communications engineering, mechanical engineering, and geosciences. The SPED online dictionary(EOS and TERRA) features systematic labeling of these extensive fields, and by identifying various definitions and examples used in each field it enables the meanings of terms, to be found at a glance, even when the same term is used in different fields.

The list of approximately 1,900 “medical science abbreviations” given in the index of the EOS (Life Sciences) is also included in the online version. The abbreviations can be searched in combination with headwords, phrases and derivatives. This digitized content will be a boon to anyone writing academic scientific papers or researching English materials.
