Hardbound. This dictionary comprises a German-English and English-German part, each with about 24,000 terms. It aims to cover cybernetics very broadly, encompassing the borderlines between mathematics, data-processing and application. It comprises terms from automation, automatic control engineering, process control, information engineering and microelectronics, as well as mathematical expressions of systems theory, game theory, statistics and optimization.Cybernetics is defined as the science of control, that is, the purposeful influencing of systems. In this context, the processing of information and its subsequent automation is a vital part of the control process. Technical cybernetics is employed in the analysis and design of technical automatic systems. The solutions of the problems that arise are frequently achieved by the application of higher mathematics. However, technical cybernetics involves the use of the terminology of several disciplines
