IEEE standards establish an authoritative common language that defines quality and sets technical criteria. By guaranteeing consistency and conformity through an open, consensus setting, IEEE standards add value to products, facilitate trade, help drive markets, and ensure safety. That's why leading companies and organizations from around the globe and across industry sectors use them.

A critical component of this common language is the vast collection of terms and definitions standardized in IEEE standards. In the past decade alone, hundreds of terms have entered the multi-sector technology lexicon under the IEEE umbrella, describing tools, techniques, and best practices. In the newly updated IEEE Standards Dictionary, professional experts and students alike will gain an in-depth understanding and appreciation for the breadth of coverage of IEEE standards terms and definitions--not found in any other single source. This CD-ROM features: - Nearly 35,000 terms and definitions with complete source citations / - Search for definitions by Technology Area, Standard Number or Alphabetically / - Easy-to-read equations and formulas / - Copy and paste definitions
