HOW WILL YOU COMMUNICATE
WITH A SEATMATE IN THE BUS WHO
SPEAKS DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?
WHAT IS LANGUAGE?
Language is a systematic way of communication with other
people use of sounds or conventions symbols
IMPORTANCE :
Language was invented to communicate ideas to others
MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE
Mathematical language is precise which means
it is able to make very fine distinctions or
definitions among a set of mathematical
symbols.

CHARACTERISTICS OF
MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE
Mathematical language can describe a
subset of the real world using only the
symbol above. Problem in physics like
freely falling bodies, speed, and
acceleration; quantities like chemical
content of vegetable: the use of
mathematical model in biological
disease modelling: and the formulas
employed in the social sciences can all
be expressed using mathematical
sentences or formulas.
SOME IMPORTANT SETS ARE THE FOLLOWING:
• Ten is a multiple of 5

MATHEMATICAL VS. SENTENCES
English we need to talk about people, places, and things, we’ll see that
UNARY OPERATION
⚬ is an operation with only one operand
⚬ Common notations are prefix notation (e.g. +, −, ¬), postfix notation
(e.g. factorial n!), functional notation (e.g. sin x or sin(x)), and
superscripts (e.g. transpose A^T). Other notations exist as well. For
example, in the case of the square root, a horizontal bar extending the
square root sign over the argument can indicate the extent of the
argument

UNARY AND BINARY OPERATIONS
BINARY OPERATION
• on a set is a calculation that combines two elements of the set (called
operands) to produce another element of the set.
PROPERTIES OF BINARY OPERATIONS (ADDITION AND MULTIPLICATION)
Identity : a+0 = a
Inverse : a + (-a) = 0
