IEC 60050的这一部分给出了电力、电子和电信领域使用的通用数学术语，以及线性代数的基本概念。它保持了数学概念和物理概念之间的明确区别，即使在这两种情况下都使用了一些术语。另一部分将讨论函数。根据IEC指南108，其具有水平标准的状态。

This part of IEC 60050 gives the general mathematical terminology used in the fields of electricity, electronics and telecommunications, together with basic concepts in linear algebra. It maintains a clear distinction between mathematical concepts and physical concepts, even if some terms are used in both cases. Another part will deal with functions. It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
