Characteristics of Mathematical Languages

 Mathematical Language is precise, which means it is able to make very fine
distinction or definitions among a set of mathematical symbols.
 It is concise because a mathematician can express otherwise long expositions or
sentences briefly using the language of mathematics.
 The mathematical language is that is one can express complex thoughts with
relative ease. For example, consider the sentence” The sum of any two real
numbers is also a real number.” In mathematical notations, this declarative
sentences can be written as:
 Mathematics is a symbolic language. Some of the symbols you may encounter
as you read this book are the following.
 Mathematical language can be describe a subset of the real world using only the
symbols above. Problem in physics like freely falling bodies, speed, and
acceleration; quantities like the chemical content of the vegetables; the use the
mathematical modeling in biological disease modeling,; and the formulas
employed in the social sciences can be all expressed using mathematical
sentences or formulas.
 Mathematical describe abstract structures as well. There are areas of pure
mathematics which deal with abstract structures, which have no known physical
counterparts at all. These are the studies in areas of mathematics like abstract
algebra, linear algebra, topology, real analysis, and complex analysis.
 Mathematics therefore, is the language of the sciences, business, economics,
music, architecture, arts, and even politics. There is an intimate connection
between the language of the mathematical and the English language. Thinking.
 The left brain hemisphere which is responsible for controlling language is also
the same part of the brain in charge of task involving mathematics. It is the left
brain hemisphere that coordinates logical or analysis thinking while the right brain
hemisphere is responsible for creative thinking.
 Chinese, Greek, and English language are the same because they communicate
ideas through symbols that feed the mind with information. More often however,
a Chinese word or symbols may mean different in the Greek or English language
resulting in confusion.
 Mathematics tries to avoid this difficult by adopting a universally understood
symbolic system for its language. Thus, the language of mathematics can be
considered a common language of the world. Any students learning mathematics
in all parts of the globe should be able to understand mathematics even if he or
she does not understand English.
