"semi"-mathematical concepts

[shahar]

I don't know if these are mathematical concepts.
But, I think they have a special meaning by mathematical presepctive.
The terms are:
"deadline"
and:
"due date".

What the different between the two? Are they the same? Also, by measuring time?

I don't think they have any special meaning in a mathematical context; their meaning comes from their real-world context. It is possible that in some contexts "due date" is specifically a date, as opposed to a time within that date; but both might imply a particular time (e.g. "by the end of the business day"). I would think the main difference would be in each being used in a different setting.

Perhaps you can show us examples of mathematical problems in which they are used and tell us what possible distinctions you think there might be.

I read in text in English. The teacher send a message to give the homework in the due time, and the in next the concept change to deadline.
In Hebrew, "due time" the directory give me an expression like the time that you need to pay your doubt (even in Hebrew it sound strange) and "deadline" (when the time has no exception).
The due time is (in Hebrew) the time you conduct to give it before the date (Like a "Bank")
and deadline is time that if you pass it, you ruin yourself or a disaster will be come if you pass it in one second after it (Like in War [Beginning of a war]).
I ask it in Forum of English, but they close my message and I do not want to deal with them.

Happy New Year

You are asking about what I would call an everyday usage, not a use in a math problem.

But you are finding definitions that are too restrictive for actual usage.

A due date can be used of "the time you need to pay a debt [not doubt!]", but can be used in many other contexts, such as a library book being due for return. (I don't normally see "due time" used. Did you mean that, or was that yet another example of your not carefully proofreading what you write? I also think you meant "dictionary" when you wrote "directory".)

"Deadline", taken too literally, would mean that you die after that time, but it is always used figuratively, and not nearly so severely.

If I were you, I would try other sources to translate words when you want to know precisely what the range of meaning is. If you can handle it, an English dictionary would be more likely to do that. Here are entries for your two words in the dictionary I usually use:

Due date:

1 : the day by which something must be done, paid, etc.​

The due date for the assignment is Friday. Tomorrow's the due date for our electricity bill.​

2 : the day when a woman is expected to give birth​

She started having contractions two weeks before her due date.​

Deadline:

1 : a line drawn within or around a prison that a prisoner passes at the risk of being shot​

2a : a date or time before which something must be done​

b : the time after which copy is not accepted for a particular issue of a publication​

Obviously you are interested only in one of the two definitions in each case! They look pretty much the same to me. If I were to make a distinction, it would be that a due date indicates an expectation (you should turn it in at this time, but exceptions can be made), while a deadline indicates an absolute last date it would be accepted. But that is not necessarily what was intended -- they may have been meant as synonyms.

An English-to-Hebrew dictionary is likely to be like most such dictionaries I have seen, just giving you a list of possible words without making careful distinctions.

Now, in looking for those, I found many other dictionaries you could look at, and other sites where people answer questions like "what is the difference between due date and deadline"; the answers I saw for the latter question were not all reliable, and in some cases were more about when you are more likely to see either term than saying they actually have different meanings.
