Why was language invented?
-Language was invented to communicate ideas to others, transmit information, understand and express ideas, acquire knowledge or information, and construct social identity.
What is the purpose of mathematical language design?
-Mathematical language design is intended to enable the writing of numbers, sets, functions, and to represent and perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
What are the ten digits commonly used in mathematics?
-The ten digits commonly used in mathematics are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
What are the four fundamental operations in mathematics?
-The four fundamental operations in mathematics are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
What are variables in mathematics and what letters are commonly used to represent them?
-Variables in mathematics represent any value and are commonly represented by letters such as x and y.
What are some special symbols used in mathematics?
-Some special symbols used in mathematics include equals (=), greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (≥), less than or equal to (≤), and pi (π).
What do the symbols N, Z, Q, R, and C represent in mathematics?
-In mathematics, N represents natural numbers, Z represents integers, Q represents rational numbers, R represents real numbers, and C represents complex numbers.
What are the characteristics of mathematical language?
-The characteristics of mathematical language are precision, accuracy, conciseness, and power, allowing complex thoughts to be expressed with relative ease.
How is the grammar of mathematical notation different from natural language?
-The grammar of mathematical notation is not dependent on a specific natural language but is shared internationally by mathematicians regardless of their mother tongue.
What are some examples of different perceptions in mathematics compared to English?
-In mathematics, words like 'set' can mean equality, inequality, or membership in a set, and the use of numbers as cardinal, ordinal, nominal, and ratio objects may differ from their use in English.

📚 Introduction to Language and Mathematical Symbols
This paragraph introduces the concept of language as a systematic method of communication using sounds or symbols, emphasizing its role in transmitting information, expressing ideas, acquiring knowledge, and constructing social identity. It also touches on the specialized language of mathematics, which includes numbers, sets, operations, and variables. The paragraph explains the use of digits 0-9 for basic arithmetic and introduces various mathematical symbols for operations, relations, and logic. It also outlines different sets in mathematics such as natural numbers (N), whole numbers (W), integers (Z), rational numbers (Q), irrational numbers, and complex numbers, each with examples and descriptions.
🔢 Understanding Mathematical Language and Notation
The second paragraph delves into the grammar of mathematics, highlighting its precision, accuracy, conciseness, and power to express complex thoughts. It contrasts the mathematical language with natural languages, emphasizing that mathematical notation is internationally shared and not tied to any specific mother tongue. The paragraph also discusses the characteristics of mathematical language, such as the left-to-right progression in formulas and the use of indices. It provides examples of how words can have different meanings in mathematics compared to English, and how numbers can be used in various ways, such as cardinal, ordinal, nominal, and ratio. The paragraph concludes by encouraging students to appreciate the ubiquity of mathematics in everyday life and to view it not as a difficult subject but as an integral part of daily living.

Transcripts
an introduction for mathematical
language and symbol
okay by the way what is language
language is a systematic way of
communication with other people use of
sound or convention symbols
language is a system of words
used in particular discipline it is also
a system of abstracts
codes which represent antecedent events
and concept and arranged in ordered
sequence to form words
so what are the importance of language
language was invented to communicate
ideas to others
meaning it is to transmit information
to understand the express ideas
to acquire knowledge or information
and to construct social identity
and also
the language of mathematics design
is what's designed so we can
write the numbers
right into sets and write
in
function
and also we can represent and perform
operation the addition the fourth
fundamental operation the addition
subtraction multiplication and division
symbols commonly used in mathematics
okay we are using this the
ten digits the zero one
two three four five six seven eight nine
so the path along you know
operation so we are using this operation
for
addition subtraction multiplication and
division
and for sets we are using this for
intersection
union
subset and superset
variables so variables we can represent
any letter but we open use x and y
special symbol like equals great less
than greater than less than or equal
greater than or equal pi at any point
special symbols nagina gametes and
mathematics
logic symbols like this is represented
for not
etune
conjunction
represents
notation so
capital letter n represent that and as
natural numbers
w that's for whole numbers in z for
integers
q for
rational numbers are for real numbers
and c for
complex numbers so
this is only our representations
okay
some important sets are the following so
symbol that is a set of natural numbers
or tina tower did nothing counting
numbers so i know by my end strong set
of natural numbers taxi simulator lag is
a one
and a nexus
one the value that is a whole number set
of whole numbers so kapaghul numbers
demand that you start tiles is zero
z the set of integers so couple integers
maritime negative numbers positive
numbers of course included you
zero
q or representation for rational numbers
comma number na terminating and
repeating decimals for example one point
seventy five
one point twenty five e big seven again
q prime the set of irrational numbers
eighteen numbers the non-terminating
or non-repeating decimals so you might
make a pattern at the top post name one
point two three two three two three two
three so
ma yeah you my example the irrational
numbers next
are the set of real numbers so pulsing
having nothing set of real numbers so
included nella had jan
natural numbers whole numbers integers
rational and irrational numbers
see the set of complex numbers animal
complex numbers kapag halimbawa the
square root of negative five so in the
magnitude
of my negative
so you name my example now
complex numbers so you may imaginary
about a plus b
i
so i is representation for imaginary
numbers
okay
here are the common symbols
while taking this course
symbols
the grammar of mathematics
the mathematical notation used for
formulas has its own grammar
not dependent on a specific natural
language but shared internationally by
mathimat mathematician regardless of
their mother tongue so say bang dugar
pala mas
left from left to right for example
young quadratic formulas
is similar to substitution
all right so lag index is similar to
left
okay
characteristics of the mathematics
language precise
precise this is you're able to make very
fine distinction or definition on ibiza
being accurate sakto
concise
you're able to say things briefly ibiza
being brief
longshot
powerful
you're able to express
complex thoughts with relative ease so
we have different perception in
mathematics and i know most of the
student tagged mathematics as the
hardest subject
but honestly we just don't realize
that math is actually made our everyday
our everyday living is here
okay
language in mathematics and language in
english i mean
contradicting
words
for example
the word is a mathematics an ebik
sabinion that could mean equality equal
inequality or member in a set
different use of a number cardinal
ordinal nominal and ratio
objects may be represented in many ways
such as sets and function
the words and and or mean
differently in mathematics from each
english use it's like for example in set
so guinea gametune and for intersection
you ornament for union this is for
operation of sets
at ginagami clinitosa probability
words no
