    Parentheses sind runde Klammern.
    Brackets sind eigentlich eckige Klammern, aber das Wort wird manchmal auch als Überbegriff für alle Arten von Klammern verwendet.

    Take your pick, Simondererste.

    Wie schon erwähnt, kommt es darauf an, was für Klammern gemeint sind.

    Generell gibt es:

    runde Klammern () --> parentheses
    eckige Klammern [] --> brackets, square brackets
    geschweifte Klammern {} --> curved brackets, curly brackets, braces, curly braces

    In der Mathematik sagt man aber Dinge wie "open parentheses ... close parentheses" nicht. Da würde man verrückt werden.

    Umgangssprachlich liest sich das so:

    (x+1) --> left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis

    oder etwas kürzer

    left paren x plus 1 right paren


    [x+1] --> left square bracket x plus 1 right square bracket

    oder

    left bracket x plus 1 right bracket


    {x+1} --> braceleft x plus 1 braceright

    In UK English brackets ( )

    Square brackets [ ]

    Curly brackets { }

    (Parentheses as a term is seldom used)

    But in the U.S., the UK "brackets" {} are called "parentheses" and nothing else.

    "Brackets" refer only to square brackets [].

    Both in UK and US English "brackets" is a collective for (),{},[],<>.

    () are called parentheses only, both in the US and the UK.

    If the term "brackets" is used just as is, those [] are meant (at least in the US) but I've never heard someone from the UK say "brackets" but meaning otherwise.
