    • Language of Mathematics

    • Three characteristics of the language


    of Mathematics
    Mathematical Symbols
    • Symbols Meaning Example
    • + add 3 + 7 =10
    • - Subtract 10 – 3 = 7
    • x multiply 9( 4 ) = 36
    • / divide 36/ 4 = 9
    • ( ) parenthesis 3( a + 3 )
    • ℼ pi A= π
    • = equals 1+1=2
    • ˂ less than 2<3
    • ˃ greater than 3>2
    • ≈ Approximately equal to π ≈ 3.1415
    • ≠ not equal to π≠3
    • ◦ degrees
    • ⸫ therefore a=b⸫b=a
    • square root =6
    English Language to Mathematical Language

    • In English, nouns are used to name things we want to talk


    about ( like people, places or things ); whereas sentence are
    used to state complete thoughts. An English sentence has at
    least one noun and at least one verb.
    • Example, consider the sentence:
    • Carol loves mathematics.
    •
    • Here, ‘Carol’ and ‘ mathematics’ are nouns; loves is a verb.
    • The mathematical analog of a ‘noun ‘ will
    be called an expression. An expression is
    a name given to a mathematical object of
    interest. Whereas in English we need to
    talk about people, places, and things, we’ll
    see that mathematics has many different
    ‘objects of interest’.
    • The mathematical analog of a ‘sentence’
    will also be called a sentence. A
    mathematical sentence, just as an English
    sentence, must state a complete thought.
    The table below summarizes the analogy.

    ENGLISH MATHEMATICS

    Name given to an object NOUN( person, place, thing ) EXPRESSION


    of interest: Examples: Carol, Manila, Examples: 5, 2+5, ½
    book
    A complete thought: SENTENCE SENTENCE
    Examples:
    The capital of the Philippines 3 + 4 = 7
    is Manila.
    • Numbers have a lots of different names. For
    examples, the expressions

    •5
    • 2+3
    • 10 / 2
    • (6–2)+1
    • 1 + 1+ 1 + 1 + 1

    • All look different but all are names for the same
    number.
    • A mathematical sentence is the analog of an English
    sentence; it is a correct arrangement of mathematical
    symbols that states a complete thought.

    • Sentences have verbs.


    • In the mathematical sentence 3 + 5 = 8, the verb is “= “
    Direction: Classify the following as:
    • English noun
    • English sentence
    • Mathematical expression
    • Mathematical sentence

    1. Dog
    2. 4
    3. 1+3=4
    4. Tuesday
    5. 6–2=4
    6. Three plus four equals seven. 3+4=7
    7. The cat is white.
    8. x+3
    • English noun
    • English sentence
    • Mathematical expression
    • Mathematical sentence

    • 9. Carol is beautiful.
    • 10. 3+4=7
    • 11. Twice a number is equal to fourteen.
    • 12. 7( 2 ) = 14
    • 13. seven times two is fourteen.
    • 14. x
    • 15. x=2
