Description:	Mathematical content has many ambiguities such as the same symbols which are used for different purposes. This is not understood by the current search systems in online mathematical dictionaries. The current search systems have their focus placed on the search by keywords of the mathematical terms, symbols and formulas. This research proposes a conceptual model for a mathematical dictionary system that will handle these issues. The Mathematical Dictionary System (MDS) contains three dictionaries: The first is a mathematical terms dictionary from/to Malay to English. Secondly, a mathematical symbols dictionary that contains three classes of symbols which are Greek symbols, operation symbols and notation symbols. Thirdly, there is the mathematical formulas dictionary that contains six classes of formulas. These are the number system, polynomials, sequences, functions, differentiation and integration. MDS has two categories of users, namely students and lecturers. The MDS has two processes which are inserting data, and updating data. Data can come in the forms of new symbols, new formula, and new terms (English-Malay terms or English-Arabic terms). Lecturers can even add new data. There is also an on-screen keyboard for mathematical symbols which is displayed on the screen. MDS provides multiple ways of searching. Searching can be narrowed to finding a symbol, a formula, a part of word, and a keyword. Users can also listen to the pronunciation of words. This is considered as another added value for the MDS besides searching. The results of the usability test show that the system is easy to learn, and it is relatively easy to use.,“Certification of Master’s/Doctoral Thesis” is not available,Master Information Technology
