I'd point out that some of the operations have different names for their operands. Subtraction has “subtrahend” and “minuend” while addition just has “addends.

The number of operands and their names (addends/subtrahend and minuend/ etc).

“Operands” is a broader term in English, not limited to addition and subtraction. “Addend” is used for addition, and “subtrahend” for subtraction, so you might want to make that distinction in your translation.

In mathematics ‘term’ in Swedish is used for both ‘addend’ and ‘subtrahend’ in English.

Michael Ellis: I agree with Michelle's srict defintion, but it raises the question "What is the Swedish fo 'mathematical term'?" In cerstin contexts e.g a primary school text book, a less strict transaltion such as 'terms'may be more suitable

-> You don’t use ‘term’ that way in English. In mathematics ‘term’ in Swedish is used for both ‘addend’ and ‘subtrahend’ in English.

Christopher Schröder: What's wrong with "terms"?

16 hrs

-> That would be like using ‘term’ for ‘sum’ in English. You don’t add or subtract ‘terms’ and get ‘terms’. In mathematics ‘term’ in Swedish is used for both ‘addend’ and ‘subtrahend’ in English.

albgie: term sub. additionsterm, term; in terms of, uttryckt i.
