    Mathematical

    Language and
    Symbols
    Characteristics of Mathematical
    language

    · Math language is non-temporal


    · It has no past, present, and future.
    There is no conjunction of words in
    mathematics in the manner that
    English has conjugation of verbs.
    Mathematical statements are
    presented simply as “is”.
    Characteristics of Mathematical
    language

    · Math Language carries no emotional


    content
    · It has no equivalent words for joy, happiness,
    despair, or sadness. It also does not speak about
    values in the manner that people speak about
    human values in society. If ever there is one
    implied value which is highly prized in
    mathematics that could only be adherence to
    logic and reason, possibly also to form.
    Characteristics of Mathematical
    language

    · Math language is precise and concise


    · It is exact and accurate in its statements and it has
    no need for unnecessary words. This is not always
    helpful to students, because being novice in math
    they need a little more elaboration, more exploration,
    and more explanation which can be achieved with
    more speech. However, the explanation will come
    from teachers and writers who will assist students in
    their studies and not from mathematics itself.
